Help! I exported contacts from a WIN2000PRO as a .pst and
it ends up on my new XP as an Office Data File.

How do I get these contacts into MS OUTLOOK contacts file?

Sorry if this is easy for some, but I've spent four hours
scanning advice & trying. The only thing I found was a
Microsoft announcement saying that XP does convert pst to
Office Data Files but no further advice on how to deal
with it.

Thanks a big one!
Bob

"Office Data File" with what extension?
If it's a PST file, just open it or import it into Outlook.

Can you use the File menu > Import & Export command? Alternately you can try
to open the file in Outlook using Outlook's File menu > Open command
