Compare outlook pst files

[DgTanner]

My .pst file became corrupted and I have lost contacts. I have an old .pst
file which has many of the the lost contacts but to import it would mean that
I would loose all the additions I have since made. Is there any way to
compare the two files and specifically portray which contacts are missing
from each file (that are included in the other). Thanks a bunch

From in Outlook, File | Open (browse to the old PST) and then both PST files
will show in your Folder list and you can compare them.

True this will let you compare the pst files... but is there any way to
compare the contacts and information within the pst files?

BTW I have about 2,500 contacts

Only with your eyeballs by opening both, as Ms. Gleeson suggested. It would
be a good tool, though.

2500! Yuk - print them out whilst sorted in the same order and have a really
boring time with a highlighter.
