MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2004Copy contact from one folder to another??
I have two personal folders open in Outlook 2002, one is older, the other is active. I want to copy the CONTACT folder from the older PST into the new one. I can copy it, but it either copies into a subfolder of CONTACTS or I have to put it into a new folder with a name other than CONTACTS (such as CONTACTS1). I want the CONTACTS folder from the older pst to be my new CONTACTS folder with the CONTACTS name. Since this is a "required" folder, I cannot just delete the empty CONTACT folder from the new pst file and rename the CONTACTS1 folder to CONTACTS. Does this make sense? Does anyone have any suggestions?? Many thanks in advance. Pat P Copy the contents of the folder, not the folder itself.

I understand what you're saying. But, I highlight the CONTACTS folder, select all the entries and copy. But when I go to the folder in which I want to paste them, and highlight it, paste is not an option. What am I missing? Thanks so much for your help!

That's a good idea. I couldn't find a "Copy to Folder" command, but a "Move to Folder" option magically appeared and worked beautifully! Thank you for your help and patience!

Did you customize your commands or toolbar? SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > That's a good idea.

However, I was just right clicking and using those options. And the "move to" is the only option there. I'll remember that in the future - maybe right click options and edit options are not necessarily the same. Many thanks again. Pat >-----Original Message----- >Odd.

Also, if you R click and drag the selections, you'll get both the option to Move and the option to Copy. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > You're right. They are BOTH on the edit menu.
