Hi!

Is there any way to automatically backup the OL2003 contacts to a pst file
uppon application exit or using a time schedule?

Thanks

Why just the Contacts and not all the folders?  Is this for an Exchange
mailbox or an existing PST?  if the latter, see this:

With Outlook closed, just copy the PST to the flash drive..  As an extra
step, make sure you can open it and that it contains all your data by
opening it in Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data File, browsing tothe PST
on the flash drive, selecting it, and clicking OK.  Look through it and
verify it's good.  Then close it in Outlook byu right-clicking on the root
of the PST (usually called "Personal Folders") and choosing Close.  Close
Outlook before dismounting the flash drive.
