Also, be aware that there is no address book in Outlook. You must transfer
your data file, as described in the posts Gordon gave you.

I think I have done what you suggested, but I'mnot sure.

At one computer I copies all my .pst files to a new folder. Then by way of
my home network, I copies those files to my second computer putting them in
the same folder on that computer as they were on the first. My Address Book
(Contacts) were not transferred.

How can I get my address book from one computer to the other. I have don't
what you suggested twice with no results.

First, never out the PSTs you're copying into the default PST folder so as
to avoid overwriting any PSTs of the same names. Doing so will corrupt the
mail profile.

Second, Outlook has no "address book". The address book is just a view of
your contacts folder shoing those contacts that have resolved electronic
addresses. Your contacts are in the Contacts folder, which is contained in
the PST you copied from the other machine.

Your address book service is corrupt. See if this helps:

Outlook may not have an Address Book, but on my Menu bar, when I place my
cursor over Addresses, the readout is Address Book.

Even so, I do not have any names in my Contacts folder. How do I transfer
contact from one computer to another, considering that I have copied .PST
files from one computer to the other, and nothing show up.

I already gave you URLs to read that explain how to correct the problem.
