Copy Outlook address book to a second computer on network?
I have 2 computers on my home network. I want to transfer my Outlook account
(along with address book and personal files) from computer 1 to computer 2. Then I will only use Outlook on computer 2. Anyone know how to do this? (I already have the Outlook application installed on computer 2, and I have copied over my .pst files.)

Anyone know how to do this? (I already have the Outlook application installed on computer 2, and I have copied over my .pst files.) Outlook doesn't have an "address book". The Contacts folder is where all your contacts reside. The "address book" interface is just a view of your Contacts folder. If you don't see your contact addresses in the address book, it's because you either transferred the PST incorrectly or improperly connected it to your mail profile. One of the more common mistakes is thinking you should use export and import. See this for starters: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563/en-us -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

In general, it's better to recreate the accounts manually on the second machine. If you use Outlook 2003, Office comes with a Save My Settings Wizard, which can do the job, but no other version has that wizard. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I had the information in the computer when I transferred my pst files, but I didn't have the address book pointed to it. All fixed now.

Keeping my laptop and desktop contacts synched is one of my life's largest pains. Thx, pjl
