MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004Help exporting one folder from contacts
I'm helping a less computer literate friend. Unfortunately I can't be at her house - this is by phone only - and she has Outlook while I have Outlook Express. She wants to export some of her contacts to a file to give to a co-worker to be imported. She has exported to a CSV file, but it appears to have all her contacts, not just the ones from one folder. I looked in the CSV file and see no mention of the folder name anywhere, so I can't edit it down to the correct contacts. Anyone know what we need to do? Outlook 2000. thank you Have her create a FILE | NEW | "Personal Folders File" Then Copy the contacts to a Contacts type folder in the pst file. Then she can send the PST file to her co-worker to open and copy from. (Or save the .PST file to a floppy to give to her co-worker)  SignatureNikki Peterson [MVP - Outlook] I'm helping a less computer literate friend.

I'm a little confused by the second statement: "Copy the contacts to a Contacts type folder in the pst file". Can you elaborate? When you create a new folder in Outlook you need to specify the TYPE of folder being created: Right-Click the Top Level Folder and select NEW FOLDER... Type a name for your new folder in the NAME: text box Then in the FOLDER CONTAINS: text box select CONTACT ITEMS SignatureNikki Peterson [MVP - Outlook] > Have her create a FILE | NEW | "Personal Folders File" > Then Copy the contacts to a Contacts type folder in the pst file. > > Then she can send the PST file to her co-worker to open and > copy from.
