How do I copy Outlook contacts to switch computers?
I hope someone can help me with this frustrating task. I am changing
computers, and I need to copy my Outlook content & contacts from my laptop and transfer them to my desktop. I have a 500GB external harddrive, but everytime that I copy the entire Outlook file, apps & database, when I go to check to see if I successfully loaded the content and try to open on my desktop there is no data there, nor any contacts. Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong?,...and how to copy and transfer this data to my desktop. Thanks in advance... Mike M.

How do I copy Outlook contacts to switch computers?
We do every day.
Surely you aren't trying to "copy your apps." You install those. You copy only your data file. 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] "MIKE MEDLIN" wrote in message ...
