I have a new computer and went with office 2007. I created a .pst file of
my personel folder from outlook 2003 and transferred it to the new computer
but I don't have my contacts. Everything else came over except my contacts.
Is there anyway to get my contacts from my old computer using outlook 2003
to my new computer using outlook 2007?

thanks

If you do not connect to an Exchange server, why did you "create a pst
file"? You could have just copied the existing one. Did you copy your
contacts to this new pst file? If not then that's why they are not there. Do
you still have access to your old computer? If not, then I'm afraid you are
stuffed.

Now go back and simply transfer your original PST. Clearly you must have
left the Contacts out when you created your PST copy.
