Answered daily. Contact data is not stored separately. It is stored with all
the rest of your 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:

Appologies for having to ask what must seem a very simple (& stupid)
question, but can someone please tell me the file name and location of my
contacts?

I inadvertantly cleared the addresses in using me Scanpen (!) and now wish
to recover the appropriate file from my Norton Ghost backup.

I am using Outlook 2003
