WRONG thing to do
Just a friendly warning from someone that just
"shot a hole in their foot" in being computer smart but "Contacts" ignorant. On a XP system with multiple users, if you need to copy contacts from one user to another's, DO NOT think you are doing so by simply by copying one's "pst" file to that of another using Windows Explorer from within the "Local Settings" tree for the respective users. Instead, what you would be doing is copying EVERYTHING......e-mail, contacts, calendars, journals, etc. The otherwise normal use of the Windows term "folders" does not strictly apply where Outlook is concerned.

WRONG thing to do
In addition, a lot of people are thrown off when they assume PST files are
like ordinary binary files. They are not. They are a complicated proprietary database and cannot and should not be overwritten. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Bill" wrote in message .net...
