Transferring Outlook 2000 contacts to another drive and outlook progra 1

[murdock2525]

I have around 400 contacts in outlook 2000 under 98 on one drive and Outlook XP under 2000 on another. How do I move this info.
No .wab files either (wasn't running OE).

Aren't the contacts part of the outlook.pst file?

U bet.

Murdock, check for other PST files too, just in case.

sure are .pst but what do I do to import them into my "new" Outlook.

Copy the PSTs to where ever you intend to use them, open Outlook and hit File-Import-from an external file-personal folder file-and find your PST. I'm not sure of the exact menu commands in XP--never saw it yet!

You can also go to the Tools menu, then to services (or accounts, depending). This will enable you to call up a screen where you add features to outlook. Select "personal folders" from the scroll-list, and choose "add".

A dialogue box will pop up that enables you to change settings for your personal folders -- one of the settings will allow you to browse for a location where your personal folders reside. Browse for your .pst file from your old Outlook install, and select it. This will point Outlook to your old files...
