Default Outlook Contacts Missing Notes After Export-Import

Read any of the posts here. You will quickly discover that you never
transfer Outlook data using export and import. Your Outlook data exists in
one file. If you want to transfer that data, copy that file. There are
countless posts here that tell you how to do that.
Sorry you had to prove our point yet again.

Hello everyone,

I hope my note finds you doing well. I work in for a small business (there
are only 7 of us here). Everyone has stand-alone PC's (no network yet,
though
we are working on it) and we are running Windows XP and Office 2007. I
happened to get the lucky task of putting over 650 contacts into Outlook.
I
could not displace my manager for the gazillion of hours it took to do
this,
so I did it at my desktop, used the Import-Export feature in Outlook
Contacts, and exported them to a disk to upload on my manager's computer.
The
process was super fast and easy, but you can imagine my dismay when I saw
that all the Contacts had imported with the Notes section completely
BLANK!

I had put very detailed notes in that section for just about every contact
-- pictures (jpeg files), alternate addresses, emails of their assistants,
etc. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. Does anyone know of a
better
way to do this so ALL of my data actually gets transferred? I look forward
to
your replies, thanks so much.

Regards,
Cat
