MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004Importing Outlook Contacts - One Machine to Another
I am trying to Import all CONTACT information from one PC to another. I am utilizing the TAB-Delimited (Windows) Option. The file exports OK. The file Imports OK. The Problem (as I see it) occurs, when the I look in the contacts folder of the Destination Machine. All Contacts are FILED AS...LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME !!! The Source Computer has all Names listed as FIRSTNAME LASTNAME (with a Space in between). The Destination Computer, however has it in reverse. Any assistance would be much appreciated. (I would like the destination Machine to have the CONTACTS in the FIRSTNAME LASTNAME Order) Thank You. Gopal Venkat Why are you importing and exporting through a second file format? Just copy the PST file and open it in the other installation. There is never any need to import/export unless you have an express need to use a different file format.

Then hit change on your address book, at the bottom of the next window there should be the 2 options on how to file contacts, either by first, last or last, first. Not relevant here. That affects the sort order of the Outlook Address Book, not the File As field for the Contacts.
