How to transfer Outlook address book from laptop to desk top?
I have XP-Professional
I have a laptop that has outlook and copied the address book to a thumbdrive how do I add it to the address book on my desk top in Outlook? I sure don't want to have to retype 326 addresses and phone numbers and emails. I need detailed specific instructions. I am not a computer geek but I do know a little. Thanks for your help, respectfully. |

If I understand your problem correctly, you have your address book on your
laptop and you want a copy of the address book on your desktop In order to copy my address book to another computer I export to a flash drive then I import to # 2 computer. To Export FileImport/Export select export to a file Select the Personal folder file"PST" file Select Contacts in your personal folder then follow the remaining steps To Import to the other computer FileImport/Export Select import from another file Select the Personal folder file"PST" file Then browse for the file you exported Voila, your other computer should have a duplicate copy of your address book.

Decidedly poor advice. Never export or import to transfer Outlook data. Nor
would this in any way restore the address book view of the Contacts. Copy the PST file and open it in the other installation. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dickiedoo" wrote in message ...
