exporting file and at end I can message "The operation failed. An object

NEVER use the export function to move data between different instances of
Outlook. Just close Outlook, copy the pst file to the second machine, open
Outlook, and do File-Open-Outlook Data File. Then just copy the Contact data
to the existing Contacts folder.
