03 contact form trouble when importing contacts
When I import my contacts from 2000 to 2003 the contact form for some
contacts is the new 03 form where you can put the picture and some are the old form from 00. Any help would be appreciated. |

Why would you import from one installation of Outlook to another? You have
no need to change file formats. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "DD" wrote in message ... When I import my contacts from 2000 to 2003 the contact form for some contacts is the new 03 form where you can put the picture and some are the old form from 00. Any help would be appreciated. |

I exported my contacts to a .pst file from my old computer. I then imported
the file to my new computer with Outlook 03. Thats why I am importing. The contact form (the form when you make a new contact) for some of my contacts is the old form. Some contact forms are then new contact form that allows you to place a picture. I said nothing of changing file formats. Simply trying to get my contacts into my new computer.

What I am telling you is that you lose data (such as custom forms) when you
export and import. That is not the correct way to transfer Outlook data. Use export/import only when you have a need to change file formats. Just copy the PST and open it in the other installation to transfer data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "DD" wrote in message ... I exported my contacts to a .pst file from my old computer.

Russ,
Please tell me how to copy the PST. I thought you created a PST file when you exported. Thanks.

Close Outlook.
Use Windows Explorer to copy your Outlook data file. The Help files tell you how: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "DD" wrote in message ...
