Both my wife and I are uding Outlook 2003 for our e-mail. She asked me if I
could put my Address Book on her computer so I went to the Knowledge Base and
downloaded quite a few documents. For a couple weeks now I have been trying
all the various methods for copying Outlook.pst and Archive.pst files to her
computer and I have been successful, but with one problem... I only want to
put my Address Book on her computer, but when I follow all the Import/Export
instructions I seem to get my entire Personal Folder with my Inbox, Saved
Documents and every other item under my Personal Folders, but no change in
her Address Book!!!

Does anyone know how to copy just my Address Book to her Outlook and nothing
else? I only seem to have .pst files. No .pab files that some of the
Knowledge Base documents refer to. Do I have to create .pab files somehow?

I would ask the question in an Outlook newsgroup.
 
Re: Address Book Question

You just "Open" your .Pst module. Once open navigate to the Contacts
of the Personal Folder. Then you click "Edit/Select All" and then Edit
"Copy to Folder" using her contacts as the destination. After copying
just close your .Pst file and then verify that your contacts are now also
in her Personal Folder/Contacts.

Sure. Lots of folks in a group with OUTLOOK in its title would be
able to help you. Notice this group LACKS that word.

Ask elsewhere
