lost my contacts

**younso** · December 31st 06, 02:46 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I exported all of my contacts and emails to a pst file. After reformatting my
computer and reinstalling the office package I imported the pst file. All of
emails are back but most of my email contacts are gone. Is there any way of
opening the pst file to find the lost contacts or is there another choice?

Read the posts in this group. Importing and exporting is never the correct
way to transfer Outlook data. As you have nicely demonstrated, it is the
correct way to lose data.
Simply copy the Outlook data file and open it in Outlook.
