Hi All,
Before I bought a new home computer, I backed up my Outlook 2003 Contacts,
Calendar and Personal Folders to a CD, and it took days to figure that out.
It was the only way I knew. I think the CD is read only. Can I get my LIFE
back by exporting from the disk back into the new Outlook 2003? Oh, my, what
a mess, what have I done...

Hi Susan,
Not to worry. You should be able to get all your addresses back by doing the
following;
1. Stick your CD with all the contact info from Outlook 2003 you saved, in
your CD drive (particularly important!! ;-)
2. Open Outlook if not already opened
3. Select the 'File' drop down menu, then 'import & Export'
4. Don't know what format you saved your info in (e.g. comma seperated
values DOS, personal folder file etc.) So just go through the list till you
get your file.
Hope you get all your contact info back.
Cheers.
