You never transfer data by importing. You open the file in Outlook. You can
only open a file that is on a hard drive and that has no read only
attribute.

I primarily use OL for tasks & contacts in my clerical support role. I'm
trying to copy contacts that I saved on my jump drive as a PST file onto
my
home laptop and I keep getting an incorrect password error message at the
personal folders box when trying to import the data file. I'm using the
directions from MS Outlook's site.

I was successful transporting from PC-PC some time ago at the worksite
using
a floppy. Also, though it works, I don' quite understand why my floppy
has
to be used at the 2nd PC where I exported the file to whenever I open
Outlook.

Thanx to anyone much more proficient than me!--
