MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / July 2005merge contacts
Hi everyone I hav a clients computer that has multiple archive folders with multiple contact folders. she wants to have all the contacts in one folder. I have tried to drag but I can't seem to merge the contacts into one folder I can do it manually 1 by 1 but the client has hundreds of contacts. I can't merg her PST files because they are nearing 2Gigs any sugestions would be great Oh yea thiss is a windows 98 box running office 2000 so no upgrades to office 2003! Thanks Darryl You need to solve the 2GB .pst problem before you even consider consolidating data from multiple .pst files. Decide on how many files you need and what's going to be stored in each file. Be sure to leave sufficient room in the default store .pst file, so she can drag all her contacts there. Don't do it one-by-one. Select all and drag (or probably Ctrl+drag to copy).

That will depend on the size of the .pst file and the amount of empty space to be recovered. I've never seen any benchmarks.
