Default Emailing/Transferring Contacts

I emailed a group of contacts to load onto a new computer. Both are Windows
XP. When I opened the emailed contact, it just opens like an email message.
How do I get it to open in my contact section, in the template it was in? Or
any suggestions for other means (not email) to transfer the contact
files/forms from one computer to another?

Thanks,
Claudette

Default Emailing/Transferring Contacts

I have exported and imported my contacts now, but have lost my custom form on
about half of them. How can I get them to show up in the correct form?
(Email from my old computer with the original contacts is not an option).

Custom items cannot be exported or imported. Why are not not simply reusing
your original PST?

All my contacts used a custom form, but after importing, only about half open
in that form. The rest opens in the default form.

I don't know what you mean about "simply reusing your original PST". My
original contacts are on a different computer, and I'm trying to transfer
them to a new computer, if that helps to clarify my situation.

What Brian is saying it that you should just copy the pst from the old
machine and then put in on your new machine (no import no export) and it
should work just fine.
