Contacts issue
Sometime ago I created a backup of my contacts for my Microsoft Office
Outlook Standard 2003. No matter what I do I cannot export/import the backup file into the program. Can someone offer some help how to do this without having to re-enter hundreds of names? I have the backup file stored on my hard drive in My Documents Folder. When I go to Outlook , then click on File, then open data file the backup file is not there and I cannot move it there.

Contacts issue
Exporting and importing is never the right way to back up Contacts.
I'd suggest posting what you did more completely and accurately. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "David Black" wrote in message ...

Contacts issue
I apologize for not being clear, but when I created the contacts in Outlook I
followed whatever the procedure was to create a backup in case I lost the information for whatever reason. I created an item on my hard drive in My Documents Folder with the name ContactsBackup Office Data File with a pst extention. I would still like getting help in getting this information back into Outllook. I hope things are more clear.

Contacts issue
Not really. How you created and populated this PST file is the crucial
information that is needed to determine why you cannot find your backup file. Is that really the problem? You can't find the file or you can't access it? Normally one creates backups by simply making a copy of the PST file. Nothing else is necessary. Creating a file and exporting to it runs the risk of making a mistake and will always lose at least some data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "David Black" wrote in message ...

Sooner or later you will have to post some complete, accurate information.
Until you do, we remain at a loss for how to help you. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "David Black" wrote in message ...
