MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008Transferring Contacts from a Flash drive to Outlook 2007
I've tried dragging and dropping as well as opening an Outlook Data File but I keep getting this error: The ...... .pst file is not a Personal Folders file. Within Windows Explorer, the file is shown as a Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders file. Any suggestions? Suggest posting some accurate information. How did you create this file? Where does it now reside? Do not even attempt to access it unless it is on your hard drive and has no read only attribute.

Russ - I created it over a month ago and recall that I dragged the contacts on to the flash drive. After plugging the flash drive in to the new computer, I then dragged the Contacts file to the desktop. I've checked the Properties and it is not read-only or hidden. The file type is listed as Outlook Personal Folders file. > Suggest posting some accurate information. How did you create this file? > Where does it now reside?

Any suggestions? Makes no sense. There is no such thing as a Contacts File, nor can you drag a Contacts Folder onto a flash drive. Still need accurate information on what you did. Do you back up your data?

Any suggestions? I have Outlook 2007 using Vista. I am unable to see any address book. My 2003 Outlook Contacts file came over and is listed as Contacts. All the entries are there. However I have no idea how to get those names and email addresses in my Outllo 2007 address file. I have tried all the stuff on help topics to no avail > Makes no sense.

Entirely different question which has also been answered here countless times. Since we have no idea what you have tried we have no way to help you. Read the posts here and tell us clearly what you have tried that has not worked for you. Post clearly and accurately if you expect help. You have done neither so far.
