Default Outlook Contacts Missing Notes After Export-Import

as Russ clearly said, your Outlook data exists in 1 file. It's a .pst file.
It's a hidden file (you need to know that when you search for it).

Find it, put it on a memory stick, then read Russ' instructions for moving
it from 1 PC to another.

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 Russ, thank you so much for your reply. I did do a search and did
not
find an answer for my particular problem (how to include the Notes section
in
my Contacts). I have found, belatedly, many comments along the same lines
are
yours: "Don't use Import-Export!" Alas, that doesn't tell me what I should
do. I can easily find the .PST file for email, but I cannot seem to find
the
file that is just for contacts (very newbie of me, I know). Once I find
that
file, is it just a matter of saving it to my manager's computer (I guess
in
the same mystery location where it resides on my machine?), or do I have
to
an import of some kind? Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply!
