I've installed my old HDD as a slave drive on a new PC. All my Outlook info
is on the old drive. How do I import the CONTACTS into the new Outlook?
I am running a new XP Office; and have already managed to import my old
emails via the File -> Open-> Open Data Files. Cannot seem to succeed with
contacts.
Any suggestions from the masters?
Thanks.
Waldo

File>Open doesn't import, and that's a Good Thing®. If you've opened the
data file, open its Contacts folder, select all the items in it with CTRL-A
and click Edit>Copy to Folder, specifying your default Contacts folder as
the destination. All done.
