I understand English quite well.
I cannot read minds, however, which is what you required.
Changing the location of your default information store in Outlook clearly
would have no relation whatsoever to how you do so in Outlook Express. Read
this statement again. It seems to have alluded you. These programs have
nothing in common.
It is still not clear what you want to do. If you want to keep using your
existing data file, you do not change its location of while Outlook is
running. Do so only when Outlook is closed, then when you restart Outlook
redirect it to the location of your data file.

Ok, my initial question was quite clear and concise. But, allow me to
break
it down to the simplest of terms so you can understand it.

In Outlook Express, you can change the location to which your emails are
stored on your harddrive by going into Options under the Tools tab. From
there you choose the Maintenance tab, there in is a button that says
"Store
Folder." If you click on this button you can change the location on your
harddrive where all of your incoming emails are stored. For instance, the
default location is some place random which a user cannot find unless he
or
she has enabled the viewing of hidden files and folders on their harddrive
and wants to take the time to endlessly go searching through random
folders
for their stored emails, should the need arise to back them up. I used
this
option in Express to change the store location from some random place on
my
harddrive to a specific location in my My Documents folder. Is that clear
enough for you?

Now, in Outlooks you can do the same damn thing, as in changing the
location
of where your inbound emails will be stored on your harddrive. I'm not
infront of Outlook at the moment so I can't give you the exact steps, but
if
you are an Outlook tech, you should be aware of this anyways. But
essentially the process is the same in Outlook where you can change the
"store folder" for emails. I believe it is even specifically located
under
the email tab in Options menu. Eitherway, the principal of a "Store
Folder"
is the same in both programs even if the process of changing it is not. A
"Store Folder" is the place where all the emails you download are stored.

I've already changed this and my question does not pertain to this at all.
I was asking if and how I had to manually change the "store" location for
my
Contacts, because in the new Outlook the changing of the "store folder"
only
seem to affect the email because it was under the email tab. But, if what
you noted in your first "curt" reply is true and both emails and contacts
are
stored in the pst file in the specific location I designated, then no
further
assistance is needed.

If computer techs are going to work in fields that require effective
communication, they should probably have a second major in English so that
the can effectively communicate with and understand the questions posed to
them.

We could help more if you stated accurately what you actually did and
what
you are trying to accomplish. This statement is unclear and is in no way
reassuring that you did what you intended: "Like Outlook Express, I've
been
able to change the store folder for my emails to a folder directly
located
in my My Documents folder." Outlook is in no way like Outlook Express,
and
what you did remains a mystery.

If this is the case, then my question is in applicable. I assumed that
because I was only changing the store location for the email that is
was
not
impacting the store location of the contacts. And since I can not view
the
contents of the pst, I could not confirm this. Thank you for your feed
back.

Your post makes no sense. Email and Contacts are all stored in the
same
data
file in Outlook and always have been. Clarify why you thought
otherwise
and
what your real question is.

Ok, I just started using the new Outlook 2007. Like Outlook
Express,
I've
been able to change the store folder for my emails to a folder
directly
located in my My Documents folder. I want to do the same with my
contacts
as
well and that way when I back up my files, both my emails and
contacts
are
easily located. But, I have as yet found a way to even change the
location
of the contacts information, let alone change it to a desired
location.
If
any one can provide some details in this regard, it would be greatly
appreciated
