MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2007Importing Contacts from another computer
am importing contacts from laptop using Windows 2000Professional/Outlook 2000 to a Desktop using Windows XP/Outlook 2003. I have done this successfully previously but this time have problems. I copied file to a new personal file on the laptop. I see this file as a .pst in Outlook file on Windows Explorer. I copy to CD. It burns successfully. From CD, I copy file to appropriate place in Outlook file on Desktop. When I try to access in Outlook either directly by opening outlook data file command or importing it, it says this file is not a personal file. Yet it has a pst extension. File is not read only and file type was checked to accept earlier version and is not passworded. How can I get 2003 Outlook to accept it. Seems to me you are posting without bothering to read any other posts in these groups. If you had you would already know: 1. You never transfer Outlook data by importing it. 2. Any PST file you put on a CD becomes Read Only. You must remove that attribute before you can access it. If, after you read the many posts here that already answer your question, you have additional questions, post what you do not understand.

I created a file on the portable and copied to it. I then wrote it to the CD. I then copied from the CD to the portable. I removed the read only attribute. I did read the other postings. So now what? > Seems to me you are posting without bothering to read any other posts in > these groups.

Just repeated all with flash drive and it worked. > Seems to me you are posting without bothering to read any other posts in > these groups.

Did you copy the pst file while Outlook 2000 was still open? If so the copied file may well be corrupt.... |
