Copy my contact file to another computer
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] "RMA" wrote in message ...

Copy my contact file to another computer
Thanks for the help. Can I do the following?
Copy the Office 2003 "Personal Folders(1)" (.pst) file on my office computer to a thumb drive; Then rename the "Personal Folders(1)" (example: "my office stuff") on my thumb drive. Then move the .pst file, "my office stuff" from the thumb drive to my home computer (Vista, Office 2008). Will I have two .pst files that I can access? Or do I have to get rid of the existing Personal Folders(1) .pst file that was present before I copied the "my office stuff" .pst file to my home computer. In other words can I have multiple .pst files on my computer (Vista, Office 2007) that I can access? -- RMA "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Copy my contact file to another computer
You can open as many PST files in Outlook as you want. It is never a good
idea to rename PST Files in Windows Explorer. Any changes you make to PST files should be made from within Outlook itself. Any PST file you store on a read only medium will have to be placed back on a hard drive and have its read only attribute removed before you can open it in Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "RMA" wrote in message ...
