Sync contacts with pictures
I want to copy my contacts from my main computer to my laptop (both
Outlook 2003). I copied the .pst file, and that worked for all information, except that the contact pictures didn't transfer. Are they kept in another file that needs to be copied?

Sync contacts with pictures
Contact pictures are not in the .pst file - it is simply a reference to the
file on the local computer. Outlook 2007 will have the contact picture as a part of the .pst file, IIRC. Haven't tried that out yet. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Sync contacts with pictures
Thanks. That should help me find the file. Since all of the contact
pictures came from a Windows Mobile device, there must be a folder placed somewhere on the computer by ActiveSync with those pictures. I'll find it.

Actually, Outlook 2003 does store the contact picture as a hidden attachment on each contact. But as a mobile device was involved, maybe the sync software did something with them.
