Where is Outlook 2003 Contact file maintained on my disk drive
I accidentally deleted a business mailing list from Contacts this morning,
but thanks to a Norton Ghost back up last night I have an archive copy from yesterday I can resurrect the whole Contacts file from. There've been no other significant changes to the Contacts file, so overwriting the whole thing won't cost me anything. But where does the Contacts file reside on my computer, and what is it called? Thanks in advance ...one of those mornings over here. Jim

Contacts do not exist separately from your other Outlook data. Don't even
think of overwriting an Outlook data file. Open your backup file in Outlook and copy what you need from it. Where it resides depends on where you put it. The default locations are all well documented. 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] "jimRedfield" wrote in message news  I accidentally deleted a business mailing list from Contacts this morning, but thanks to a Norton Ghost back up last night I have an archive copy from yesterday I can resurrect the whole Contacts file from.
