Where IS the Outlook Contact List?
I had the great misfortune of have my XP installation get trashed, oh bother!
I ended up upgrading to Vista (clean install) and reinstalled Office 2003. I can read the old disk and have set it up as an external drive until I can get all my old data off it, then it becomes a "mirror-drive" to the new HD I installed. Now for the issue, I can't find the old contact list anywhere on the old drive. My hope was that since it was a simple re-install, no upgrade on Office or Outlook, I could find the old configuration and bring the file(s) over and be back where I was before the crash. What say Ye?! -- Robert A

Where IS the Outlook Contact List?
There is no "Contact List" in Outlook. All Outlook data is in one file. 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] "Robert A" wrote in message ...
