Milly -- Thanks, backing up all Outlook data will be great.
One further question -- where do I find the ".pst" file?

With Outlook closed (make sure there is no running outlook.exe in task
manager), simply copy your .pst file to the USB stick. Depending on how
large it is, it can take several minutes.

The .pst file contains ALL your Outlook Dta, not just your contacts.

After furious head scratching, Steve asked:

| I need to backup my Contacts in Outlook 2003 (hard drive failing).
| When I execute "Copy to" a jump drive I get a file named
| "Contacts.prn" -- which I can't read.

| Do I export to Outlook on the new drive the "Contacts.prn"??

| Hopefully there's a better way. I have about 600 contacts so I don't
