MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2007Outlook 2003 to Outlook Express
Is there a way to transfer my contacts from Outlook 2003 to my Outloo Express Address Book > Is there a way to transfer my contacts from Outlook 2003 to my Outlook > Express Address Book? Yes, a couple of ways. One is to create a Personal Address Book in Outlook and copy your contacts there. Outlook Express can import a PAB with File>Import>Other Address Book. You can also export your Contacts to a CSV text file and OE can import that, too.  SignatureBrian Tillman I used the first option and it worked like a charm. Thanks for th help I need help regarding: "create a Personal Address Book in Outlook and copy your contacts there" How can I do this? And where should I put that mailbox.pab (in which folder)?

I wouldn't use a PAB since they are no longer supported and no longer even available in the current version of Outlook. Export to a CSV file instead.

Do you have custom fields? Have you examined the content of the CSV file to see what it contains? You should be examining the mapping for all fields when you import.

Open it either in Notepad or in Excel. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I have opened it in Excel and all data (title, first name, middle name...) are in one column, in column A? Shouldn't it be in each column for every item/information? > > I don't know how to examine csv to check is it ok? can I send it to > > someone? > > Open it either in Notepad or in Excel. > I have opened it in Excel and all data (title, first name, middle > name...) are in one column, in column A?

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] unfortunately, no. all data are in column A separated by comma. > > I have opened it in Excel and all data (title, first name, middle > > name...) are in one column, in column A?

(Excel 2007 - should be similar in prior versions). You should be given the option to use comma as the delimiter. This will translate the single cell data to multi-cell data. HTH > unfortunately, no. > all data are in column A separated by comma. How did you open it in Excel? If you simply double-click on it from Windows Explorer, does it look any different when it opens? SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] > I need help regarding: "create a Personal Address Book in Outlook > and copy your contacts there" > How can I do this? Now that I go back and try to walk through this for you, it appears there's no way to reference the PAB from Outlook 2003. The ability of OL 2003 to access a PAB is read-only; i.e., you can use addresses in an existing PAB so you can send mail, but you can't write to a PAB to add addresses. The PAB is viewable only via the Address Book interface and you can't copy items in that interface. So, exporting to a CSV is your only choice. FIle>Import and Export>Export to a file>Comma Separated Values (WIndows). > And where should I put that mailbox.pab (in which folder)? It wouldn't matter, but it's moot, since PABs in OL 2003 are read-only, it seems. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] ok I'm back to csv :) > > I need help regarding: "create a Personal Address Book in Outlook > > and copy your contacts there" [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > It wouldn't matter, but it's moot, since PABs in OL 2003 are read-only, it > seems.
