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 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "L." wrote in message ...

copy contacts to another system?
Thanks, found it.
2nd comment/question- It appears all I have to do is "copy" the outlook.pst file and save on the other system. Since I already have a .pst file on the other system,(I started to enter contacts manually) is all I have to do is copy over/replace the old one? Can I just e-mail the .pst file to the other system. One system is at work, the other home. OR should I burn to cd and replace? Thanks, L. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Never, ever overwrite a PST file. Microsoft has provided very specific
instructions on how to migrate to another PST file, which I already posted. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "L." wrote in message ...
