"Contact list" has no meaning to us. You use of that term could mean
anything. State what you think it means, and state more clearly what you
did.

Default Transfer contact list

I copied the Contacts folder from a computer that had Outlook 2002 on a CD as
a pst file. I am now trying to import that file into the Contacts folder of a
computer that is running Outlook 2003. Outlook 2003 won't allow me to imort
it or read it. I get a message that personal file folders are stored in a
different language in Outlook 2003 than in Outlook 2002. I've heard there is
a way to get around this problem. Any idea how?

Say how you created the PST in the first place. If you used export, start
over. There's no need to use export.

I believe export was used but don't remember for sure. I no longer have
access to the other computer. I just have the pst file on a CD which I've
also loaded onto my desktop.

If the PST is on your hard drive, make sure that the read-only attribute is
disabled, then start Outlook, click FileOpenOutlook Data File, browse to
the PST, select it, and click OK. You should then have access to all the
data it contains. If the DL is not in its Contacts folder, then the
original export ruined it and it's unrecoverable without access to the
original PST containing it.
