Default How to Restore Contact Information

Hello
I had a system crash the other day. I have had a good back up of all data
important to me. One of those items was my PST and PAB files. However, I do
not know how to go about restoring these so that I may use OUTLOOK as I once
had. If anyone can assist with how to restore my PST and PAB files I would
welcome the know how. Also, I would like to transfer these same files to my
laptop to keep current on the road and office. Thanks for any assistance you
may lend

Default How to Restore Contact Information

Outlook has not used a PAB file for many years. It is unlikely you were.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's the only place
where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
