Trying to export a contact folder to move to another computer. Tried
exporting file and at end I can message "The operation failed. An object
cannot be found"

I know I have done this before, don't know what is going on here now.

Running Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro

NEVER use the export function to move data between different instances of
Outlook. Just close Outlook, copy the pst file to the second machine, open
Outlook, and do File-Open-Outlook Data File. Then just copy the Contact data
to the existing Contacts folder.
