When I put them on my work laptop, there were no contacts in Outlook so I
could simply import them in. However, as I indicated in my original posting,
my home Outlook already has a Contacts file and I do not want to overwrite it
- I want two separately identifiable Contacts files. When I did this on the
work laptop, I had imported to the check box that said "Import items into the
same folder in ... Personal Folders" However, if I do that this time on my
home pc, I believe I will just overwrite the Contacts I already have on the
home pc. I want to be able to flip back and forth in Outlook on my home pc
from my home contacts (Contacts) to work contacts (Work Contacts) somehow.
How do I do this?

If you brought them with you, why wouldn't you just use the same method in

Server, right?
No Outlook data is ever stored in an address book. Contacts are only stored
in Contact Folders in an Exchange mailbox or local data file.

I have a home system that I use Outlook on as my mail client. I have
approx.
30 contacts on this system. I have a work system where I have approx.
1200
contacts. I am leaving my current employment so I want to move my 1200
contacts from my work Outlook to my home Outlook (so I still have
access
to
them), but I don't want to add them to my existing Contacts file, nor
do
I
want the work one to replace my home one. What can I do? On my work
Outlook, when I click on the address book, I see a global address list
in
a
drop down box that when "dropped down", show Outlook Address Book at
the
top,
followed by Contacts (as a subheading under Outlook Address Book),
followed
by Global Address List, etc., Can I somehow have my work contacts show
up
in
a list that I could then select?
