Default Need more help copying outlook contacts

Brian, you have been so helpful and I thought I had this down pat
yesterday, but I seem to be missing some step when I'm trying to do it
today. I'm following your instructions (see below)

Create a new PST with FileNewOutlook Data File. Browse to the
folder where you'ld like it to be (or accept the default), give it a
file name (or accept the default - but I'd change it. It will have a
file extension of ".pst"), and click OK. Give it a display name (or
accept the default of "Personal Folders" - but I'd change it), anc
click Finish. The new PST will be added to your Folder List. Right-
click your Contacts folder and drag it to the new PST. Release the
mouse button and choose Copy. When the copy completes, right-click
the root of the PST (it will be named whatever you chose for "display
name" above) and choose Close. Close Outlook.

The "Display Name" shows up in my folder list; the new pst file shows
up wherever I choose, i.e. desktop, in my "Outlook" folder, etc., but
does NOT show up in my folder list, so I can't even copy my contacts
there from Outlook. What step am I missing here? Thanks much.

Brandy

P.S. You still da man! :-)
