contacts from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007
I have Outlook 2003 on my computer. A friend has Outlook 2007. She has not
input any contact data yet. Can I build a contact database for her on my computer, copy it to a cd and have her read it in to her Outlook database? How?

contacts from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007
Yes. All Outlook data resides in a data file with a PST extension. Just copy
the Contacts you create to a PST file. Close Outlook. Burn the PST file onto the CD. Copy it to the friends hard drive and remove the read only attribute. Then open that PST file in your friends version of Outlook and copy the Contacts into your friends Contact Folder. PST files are perfectly compatible between Outlook 2003 and 2007. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "amchill" wrote in message ... I have Outlook 2003 on my computer. A friend has Outlook 2007.

contacts from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007
Thank you. A couple of other stupid questions...... obviously I use the
Export feature to create the .pst file and the Import feature to read it into the other version. How can I keep the new contacts I create seperate from the ones that are already in my contact folder? Also, how do I remove the read only attribute? Sorry to be so dull! "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Yes. All Outlook data resides in a data file with a PST extension.

contacts from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007
No! It is not at all "obvious" that you use export or import. Nor did I tell
you to. You would only use that if you want to convert to a different file format. Using it to create a PST file will lose data. That's why I posted the instructions I did. Why would you be creating Contacts that already exist in the other installation? If you are, they should be easy to find and remove by using a duplicate checker or using a sorted view. You remove the read only attribute by accessing the file's properties in Windows Explorer. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "amchill" wrote in message ... Thank you.
