Export Outlook 2003 contacts by category
Exporting is never a good way to transfer Outlook data.
Just create a new PST file and copy these contacts into their own Contacts Folder in that file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dprawel" wrote in message news  I have thousands of contacts in Outlook. I want to export only one or more categories to a PST file. Anyone know how? Thanks.

Export Outlook 2003 contacts by category
Hmm... File-New-Outlook Data File? THe new PST contains Deleted Items and
Search folders. How then do I create a Contacts folder in this pst file? I tried creating a new folder and dragging contacts to it, but it creates an email to all the addresses (cause it's not a contacts forlder).

It's not hard.
File New Folder. You have the option of creating a Contacts Folder in the "Folder Contains" dropdown. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dprawel" wrote in message ... Hmm... File-New-Outlook Data File?

Export Outlook 2003 contacts by category
Thanks Russ. For some maybe, but for me at least, nothing is easy with
Outlook. E.g. why not just make it possible to export contacts by category, e.g. into an excel file??? ANyway, here's what I tried/got: Icreated a new folder named Orbis (my client). A new personal folder called Personal Folders appears in my folder tree. Hmm... then I click the new personal folders and create a new folder in it called contacts, and tell it to make it contain contacts. I double check that it's creating it in the new personal folders. Nothing happens. I have tried it numerous times, with different pst file names, folder names, deleting, rebooting, etc. UI can't get it to create a contacts folders. Hmm... Help!!! Thanks.

What do you mean by "nothing happens?" What exactly are you doing and what
isn't happening that you think should? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dprawel" wrote in message ... Thanks Russ. For some maybe, but for me at least, nothing is easy with Outlook.

Export Outlook 2003 contacts by category
Presumably a contacts folder should appear in the new personal folder. I
think I just answered my question. I am accustomed to looking at the "Mail" folder list, not the complete folder list. By switching views, the contacts folder appears and I have solved my problem. Thank you very much for being so responsive. How can I "rate" your service? David "Russ Valentine [MVP Outlook]" wrote: What do you mean by "nothing happens?"
