How do I move 100 contacts to outlook from a file.
I actually have over 500 contacts that I need to enter into Outlook 2000.
The are currently in a file as vcards that I downloaded from a previous copy of Outlook 2000. How can I do this in one move. Where does contacts reside in Outlook 2000, Could just rename and move the whole file to Outlook 2000? -- Thanks, Steve

How do I move 100 contacts to outlook from a file.
Why would you change your Contacts to a different format if you were only
transferring the data to another installation of Outlook? Do you still have this data in its native format? If not, you may feel free to add this information one Contact at a time because that's the only way Outlook can take in VCF files. Next time, use Outlook's format for transferring Outlook data from one installation to another. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Steve" wrote in message ...

Russ,
Thanks. My computer developed a virus or something and I had to save whatever I could any way I could or that was most expediant. I guess the price I have to pay is to move them one at a time. This will at least give me an opportunity to edit out names I do not need any more. -- Thanks, Steve "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Why would you change your Contacts to a different format if you were only transferring the data to another installation of Outlook?

This will at least give me an opportunity to edit out names I do not need any more. The vCard format certainly was not the most expedient. The most expedient would be to simply use the PST file where your contacts are stored by default. If I were in your shoes, I'd write a program to split the large vCard file into multipl vCard files, one per contact. It's just an ASCII text file. You could use Notepad too, if you want, although it's more tedious. -- Brian Tillman
