I am learning.......So I create a New Data file using Outlook on my Desktop
(Again, I am Transfering Contacts from Desktop to Laptop).....and name it
"Transfer" (Transfer.pst). Then copy the CONTACT Folder in the Desktop into
Transfer.pst. When opening Transfer.pst a warning opens alerting you that if
you open the file it can become Corupted???? So I did not proceed. But
assuming you'll reply advising me to ignore the warning, or, set me straight,
I'll copy and paste the entire Contact Folder from the Desktop into
Transfer.pst. I'll close Outlook.

I'll then paste this Transfer.pst file.....in a folder I'll create on the
laptop and Name it TRANSFER. I'll open Outlook in my Laptop and open
Transfer.pst...Outlook is still open......I'll go to the Transfer
Folder\Transfer.pst, open it, copy the Contacts Folder. I'll go to the
Contact Folder on my Laptop...and paste the Contact folder in it.

When I click on the Address Book Icon in Outlook, my Contacts will be
displayed.

Now if I simply copied the Contacts Folder from my Desktop, and pasted it in
my Contact Folder on my Laptop....the Transfer wouldn't work?

If I have confused the issue\steps, or simply you feel I am not getting it,
I wouldn't blame you at all for not replying.

They all apply to Outlook 2007 as well and they cover the instance in which
you only want to transfer a portion of your data file. Summarizing the
instructions:
To create the data file, use File New Outlook Data File. Make sure you
keep track of its name and location. Then copy your Contacts Folder into
this file. Close Outlook.
Copy this new data file and open it in the other installation (File Open
Outlook Data File...). Then copy the Contacts from its Contacts Folder to
the Contacts Folder in the current installation.

Sorry, I really didn't intend to offend anyone. I reviewed the links.
They
all referred to Outlook versions other than 2007, and all gave
instructions
to Backup\Transfer the .pst file....I only want to Transfer my "Contacts".
I
do not want to Transfer my Inbox....etc.

I didn't understand your New data file...etc. If the above won't work,
could ypu provide more detail as to the steps to follow ......

He did already. Read the web sites he cited.
