Backup Contacts as .csv file?
Hi! I am running Outlook 2007 on a WIn7 64 bit pc. I wish to do a backup of
my Contacts to My Documents. I am using File/Import and Export and exporting Contacts as a .csv file. When the Wizard comes to the "Select folder to export from:" window, there are four Contacts entries listed in the "Deleted Items" folder. They a Contacts; Contacts 1; Contacts 11; and Contacts 12. Where did they all come from?! Prior to running the Wizard, I emptied the Deleted Items folder, so I was expecting only one Contacts listing. There is another Contacts folder (in the Wizard) under the heading "Personal Folders". I assume this is the one I must do my export with. Advise me if this is correct. Also, I am wondering why Contacts is not listed in the "Personal Folders" in the Navigation Pane of the Outlook main window, (although it is listed as a Navigation Pane button). Is this normal? I guess I don't really need to have it shown in "Personal Folders" since I can access Contacts in the Navigation Panel, and also from the toolbar above. Is there any way to remove the Contacts listed in the "Deleted Items" folder? This would help avoid confusion in the future. Thank you, Jimmy. |

Backup Contacts as .csv file?
In what way is changing the format of Contacts to a non-Outlook format
performing a backup? Did you have some need to lose some of your data? Why not use a supported method for backing up Contacts: make a copy of your Outlook data file. -- Russ Valentine "Jimmy" wrote in message ... Hi! I am running Outlook 2007 on a WIn7 64 bit pc.

... Hi! I am running Outlook 2007 on a WIn7 64 bit pc. I wish to do a backup of my Contacts to My Documents. Don't you want to save your other Outlook items, like Calendar, Tasks, e-mail, and such? Just copy your data store. http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
