Default Copying Outlook Contacts & using in a small network

I want to copy the outlook contacts from one computer to another new one. I
am unable to find the contact file in the Windows Explorer. Can someone help.

We also have a small network of 6-7 computers. The network drive is the 'P'
drive. I would like to put the outlook contacts on the 'P' drive so each
computer could draw on the contacts. Hence, no need to have duplicate
contacts on each computer and all the problems in making sure they are all
upated.

Many thanks for your help.
Norm.

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:
