Hi,

Is there a way to selectively import information from a pst file? I want to
import only the "Notes" from an old pst file...how do I do that without
importing the e-mail, contacts, or appointments?

Thanks, Rick

No do not import. I would do it like this - start Outlook and then open the
pst file (file | Open | Outlook Data File.)

Then select the Contacts and drag them into the Folder you want them in. No
need to import from Outlook to Outlook.

Excellent, I hadn't thought of something that simple. Thanks!

YW, but for future reference you will save yourself a lot of heartache by
NOT using the import
/export function to move data from one Outlook to another.....it can cause
all sorts of problems...
