MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2005How do I move a contact list...
from a PC running Outlook 2003 to a PC running Outlook 2002? Create a new Outlook data file in "Outlook 97-2002" format and copy your Contacts into it.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > from a PC running Outlook 2003 to a PC running Outlook 2002? Russ -- I was able to save it in the Outlook 97-2002 format, but am now having trouble importing it. I went to File, Import and Export, Import from Another Program or File, Personal Folder File, fold the saved file and selected it and clicked Next, and then clicked Finish on the Import Personal Folders box. The dialogue box disappears, but the file is not imported. Am I doing something wrong? Thx, David > Create a new Outlook data file in "Outlook 97-2002" format and copy your > Contacts into it. > > from a PC running Outlook 2003 to a PC running Outlook 2002? Yes. You are importing. Just open the file. Don't import it.

Thanks, Russ - I'll give that a try. David > Yes. You are importing. > Just open the file. Don't import it.

Export it out to a PST file and inport it back in look in the file menu > from a PC running Outlook 2003 to a PC running Outlook 2002? Wrong. Doing so will create a file that will not be compatible with Outlook 2002. That is one of the many reasons we advise against exporting/importing to transfer Outlook data. Use that method only if you need to convert to a different file format for another program.

Russ, can you provide the default file name and path for the address book in Outlook 97? I had been trying to export/import from Outlook 97 to Outlook 2003 but now I see that I should just transfer the file. > Wrong.
