MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2004new computer - transferring contacts
Hi - I have a new laptop, and after trying to transfer folders, files, asking help, etc. have had no luck - I simply want to transfer my contacts to my new laptop from my old one - i've simply reinstalled outlook on my new computer - you would think this should be very straight forward - whatever happened to the old of of just saving your datatbase to a disk and opening it on the new computer? It almost seems like it's designed to make this difficult to do - thanks - Kevin Post your Outlook version. Most people simply migrate (copy and reuse) their Outlook data file. That will preserve the most settings and information.

That way you'll have everything that was on the old -- contacts, calendar, categoru=ies, emails as well as your old settings. > Hi - I have a new laptop, and after trying to transfer > folders, files, asking help, etc. have had no luck - I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > computer?

That's why I posted the instructions on how to migrate Outlook data.
