How do I import Outlook Contacts files from a backup?
Mr. Valentine,
I'm following this discussion because I would like to save my contacts backup (.pst) to a CD-RW. I closed Outlook , found the contacts backup file in My Documents and then attempted to Send To the CD-RW drive. I get a series of messages difficulty loading. Is it possible to send my contacts packup file to CD and how is it done? Korine "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You provided no information. You copied your Contacts how and in what format? Importing is never a good choice for transferring Outlook data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "deb watson" deb wrote in message ... I am copying my contacts to a CD for my boss to import into his Outlook. I attempted to simulate the import on my system after copying to the disk, but I am told I do not "have permission" to access the files (that I just created) on the disk. First time around, I did not enter a lock or password, and the second time around I did put one in. Neither time did it even give me the opportunity to enter any password at all. Isn't there a simpler way to do this, and one that does not cost more money like the Sharepoint services sites?

How do I import Outlook Contacts files from a backup?
Sure it's possible.
This is not an Outlook or Contacts question. This is a question as to how to burn a CD, which should be addressed to the maker's of your CD burning software. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Korine" wrote in message ...

How do I import Outlook Contacts files from a backup?
I'm trying to save a folder full of emails to take with me for an audit
tomorrow. Is there anyway they can be read straight from the disk. Will be viewing it on their network logged in as one of them rather than myself, is that seen as a problem?

How do I import Outlook Contacts files from a backup?
A "folder full of emails" means what exactly? How and in what format do you
intend to save these messages? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Neil Evans" wrote in message ... I'm trying to save a folder full of emails to take with me for an audit tomorrow.

How do I import Outlook Contacts files from a backup?
I have a sub folder within my inbox, containing emails. I want to take them
in any format that they can be opened and read. I assume the expected format would be as a pst which they could then read from outlooke.

How do I import Outlook Contacts files from a backup?
That would be the best. No you cannot open a PST from a CD. It must be on a
hard drive and have both read/write access. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Neil Evans" wrote in message ... I have a sub folder within my inbox, containing emails.
