Open your Outlook data file in this profile. The file you need is your
Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Bob Levin" wrote in message news  I created another user account,(same computer) I have over 500 contact.

copy contacts to another user account on same computer
Hello Thanks : You said "Open outlook data file in that Profile". What
profile do you mean? Sorry. I read the three web sites you suggested. pst file is located in Docs & settingsownerLocal settingsapplication datamicrosoftoutlook. There is no path to it in windows explorer. It goes as far as c:/driveDocuments & settingsOwner.The path stops there. There is nolocal settingsapplication data etc. I can open outlook and go to fileOpenOutlook data file. I can select & copy the pst file from there, however when I open the new user account, I do not have the option to "paste". so thats a dead end also. please step by step as I am a newbie. thanks so much -- Bob Levin "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Open your Outlook data file in this profile.

From reading the information I provided, you would know that PST files are
hidden. Obviously, you will need to place this PST file in a location where the other user account can access it. How to do that is not an Outlook question and depends on what OS you are using and what type of user account you created. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Bob Levin" wrote in message ...

Windows Explorer doesn't show it unless you tell it to do so. In Windows Explorer, click ToolsFolder OptionsView. CLick the radio button labeled "Show hidden files and folders". COnsider, too, unchecking the box labeled "Hide extensions for known file types". Click OK. Windows Explorer will now show those hidden folders. If you'd rather not do that, you can still see inside those hidden folders. In Windows Explorer's Address bar, enter C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and click Go. You should see your Outlook PST file. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
