Default Importing contacts

Thank You! I can't wait to try it.

You should never use export and import to transfer Outlook data.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

I am using Outlook 2003. I do not know what you mean by information store.
I
have taken my task list and my contacts from one computer (doing an export
to
excel) and am trying to import it to another computer.

To import:

I am selecting "import from another program or file"
then selecting " Excel" as the file that I am importing
I then select (from my hard drive my file)
It then displays a screen that says "Import a file" and "Select
destination
folder"
But there is nothing to select. There are no folders listed.
I think I have a problem with my Outlook.

Explain your steps more clearly. Include your Outlook version. State what
information store your Outlook profile is using.
