Default Export/Import: Truly needs hand held explanation, please

Outlook2007: We have 2 seperate pc's and I need to export my contacts, import them on my asst's pc, have her make new contacts and revise old one's, copy that new contact file, and import it back into my pc. We need to do this on a continuous basis. I truly need step by step instruction because I've tried to do this for hours to no avail.

Please help with instruction, a link etc..

Mike

POP email acct.


In that case do NOT do any "import/export" at all.

How to backup and restore Outlook

http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx

There is out-dated information on some of these pages, specifically with
regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007.

The main points to note:
1. Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one
version to another - all you need to do is to copy the pst file, with
Outlook closed.

2. Do NOT paste the copied pst file into the default location - paste into
(for example) your Documents folder and then do File-Open-Outlook Data File
within Outlook.

Get an Exchange account. It will make all this very painless. Your
assistant would be able to see and edit your contacts in real-time while
you are using the software.

They are available as a hosted solution from multiple providers.
Microsoft is one such provider, but they have a minimum requirement of 5
users. Apps4rent is another provider with no minimum requirement.
