Default Have saved Contacts to disk, cannot open .pst file from disk

Used Microsoft Online to create backup copy of Contacts. Backed up to an
external hard drive. File can be located on drive but message asks what
program created it and what program do I want to use to open it. I cannot
get of the options to open the file, what do I do?? Office Outlook 2003. Bob

You must open it from within Outlook. Start Outlook and click
FileOpenOutlook Data File. Browse to the PST, select it, and click OK.

Brian,
Used your formula but it still will not allow me access to my contacts,
tells me that I do not have access to the hard drive. I am an old fella and
not very computer literate. How about trying again with me. Thank You very
much. Bob

OK, start by describing the exact steps you used to create the backup. I
don't know what "Microsoft Online" is. Also include in what format you
saved the data and where the backup file currently resides.
