You never import Outlook data. Your question is answered here daily.
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http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx Note that some of the information on the Microsoft page is outdated and contains errors, particularly when applied to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically: 1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to connect it to your profile. Doing so will often corrupt your Outlook profile. Copy it anywhere BUT the default location and then open it within your Outlook profile. 2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become too deeply flawed to be of any use. -- Russ Valentine "Steven" wrote in message ... How would I go about doing this in Windows Vista?

... How would I go about doing this in Windows Vista? How do I import all the contacts from one profile to another one on the same computer? Simply add the PST contaiing the data to the other profile. Run the Mail applet in Control Pane, click Show Profiles, select the profile you want to contain the data, click Properties, click Data Files, click Add, browse to the PST containing the data, select it, and click OK. Close the Mail applet. All done. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
