Default Move address contacts to a new computer OL2007 and Vista

Thanks Guys!
What about moving the contents of one folder (Work mail) from the old OL2007
on the old computer to OL2007 on the new computer.

If a new pst was created you will have two sets of Personal Folders, within
Outlook.
The old data file (large one) is usually named outlook.pst, by default, the
new on could be named outlook1.pst
With Outlook closed copy the smaller pst to the new PC

The old (or current) PST was badly corrupted and even the main MS support
had probles with this. They created a new PST file and left the VERY large
old one still attached to the personal filders file which has a zillion
e-mails in it. I wanted to delete or dump all the old e-mails in and out
(MS
said I could not or should not delete the folders...do this) but retain my
2
address books and transfer them to the new computer and newly installed
OL2007... A clean start other than my old contacts is what I wanted to
achieve. Thinking about it, there was one folder call (Work Mail.) I'd
also
like to move to the new computer and OL if that is possible as well.

I have a new laptop and want to move only my contacts only (Two address
books)not the PST file. I have had major problems with the PST file and

I can avoid it.

Is there an easy way to do this please?
