MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2005Sending a distribution list
I have been able to export a partial contact list as a .pst. I want to send this list to others so they can use the same list. Most of my collegues know even less than I so I am running through the procedure they would use to open the list in order to tell them what to do. When I try to import the file I eventually get to a window asking where I want to import from. The only choices are folders already in Outlook. Does one need to save the pst directly into the Outlook folder first, and if so, how is that done? We are running Outlook 2000 sp-3. Everything I have found on the web appears to be for other versions because they refer to folders I don't have - like My Documents\My Outlook\Temp. > I have been able to export a partial contact list as a .pst. There's never a need to export to a PST because data gets lost in the process. Likewise, there's never a need to import from a PST. > I want > to send this list to others so they can use the same list. Most of [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Outlook.

You can put it in any folder to which your have write permission. Then start Outlook and click File>Open>Personal Folders File, browse to the PST, select it, and click OK. You'll now have access to any folders it contains. The contacts in it can be copied from that PST to the default Contacts folder, or you can simply enable the folder in the added PST as an address book and use them directly from there. > We are running Outlook 2000 sp-3.

So, create that folder if you don't have it or use another. The folder in which you store the PST is unimportant.  SignatureBrian Tillman How do I save the PST to the hard drive? If I select either copy or move I am only presented with folders within Outlook as options. > > I have been able to export a partial contact list as a .pst. > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > So, create that folder if you don't have it or use another.

You said you created a PST by export. That means it's already on the hard drive. Mail that PST as an attachment to those with whom you want to share the information. You may need to rename the PST extension to ".psx" or something to do so. When they receive the file, then save it to their hard drive, rename the extension back to ".pst" and go from there with the remainder of the instructions I posted. SignatureBrian Tillman |
