Hello & My Apologies !

I don't believe I explained my current problem clearly enough. I need to
Back-Up my "Contacts List", and "Address Book"; along with some Emails that I
had saved if possible.

When I executed the "Detect & Repair" everything disappeared. Admittedly
I've really botched this operation up; but I understand that either Outlook
or MicroSoft maintains these files for just this type of screw-up.

Can anyone tell me how to go about and Back-Up these items to a Flash
Drive ?
When I tried to use the Outlook Help Back-Up, I got the same error or
"0x8004010F... Object Not Found".

Thanks Again !

Please help.

The Outlook Address Book does not contain ANY data and, therefore, requires
no backup. The address book is just a view of those entries in your
Contacts folder(s) that have electronic addresses (i.e., email addresses and
FAX numbers). Moreover, all of your Outlook folders are generally on a
single file: the "Personal Folders" file, or PST. The references I gave you
should explain that.

Not true. Neither Outlook nor Microsoft ever make backups on your behalf.
That's your job. Chances are, the Detect and Repair created a new mail
profile for you (StartControl PanelUser AccountsMailShow Profiles), as
well as a new PST. Your old profile and your old PST should still be
available on your disk. In fact, if you switch Outlook to using the old
profile, chances are that your data will reappear.

WIth Outlook closed, copy your PST to the flash drive. That's it.
