I am exporting my contacts to comcast address book. Over years as kids moved
out I have copied the parrent's contact and then modified the copied contact
to reflect the kids info. None of the copied contacts exported. Why - is
there a work around? Outlook 2003 - thanks

Exactly what steps are you using to export?

File - Export
Wizard - Export to file
CVS - Contacts -
*.CVS file on desktop

Then comcast - Addressbook - import
MS Outlook CVS

Thank you Brian for your interest. Deb

There is no "File>Export Wizard" menu item in Outlook. You're not
describing the exact steps.

File - Import and Export - then the "Export and Import Wizard" opens
I then follows the steps in the Wizard Choosing
Export to a File
Comma Separted Values (dos or windows - I tried both)
Select folder "contacts"
Save export file to desktop

Alas, I'm of no help, I guess. If there are separate contact entries in
your Contacts folder, then they should be in the exported file. If you
display the contacts folder in a table view do you see all the entries
still?

I have opened the CVS file and the copied contacts are not there. So comcast
import is not at fault. I remember that Yahoo had a feature to allow an
address you looked up in an online directory to add as a contact to your
addressbook in Yahoo. But it would not snyc /export to outlook, but I
couldn't find any information on it now. Were you able to duplicate my
results? Thanks Deb

I can't duplicate the results, and you appear to have missed my question:

>> If you display the contacts folder in a table view do you see
>> all the entries still?
