MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Transfering Contacts and Email addresses
I have a new laptop that I want to put my Outlook 2000 Contacts (addresses, phone, email) on. What are the steps I need to do to copy them from my desktop to my laptop?? I've looked through the list and I thought I had it figured out but then got confused with some other posts. Thanks Bob The easiest and safest way to transfer data is simply to make a copy of your Outlook Data File. You can then either use it as your default data file in the other installation or simply open it in the other installation and copy what you want from it. The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have a new laptop that I want to put my Outlook 2000 Contacts (addresses, > phone, email) on.

You must first open them in Outlook. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I copied all my contacts to a disk and installed the disk into my new > computer and dragged them to the contact heading.
