HOw can I import a distibution list from my contacts in Outlook to another

not come over. Thanks!

The reason you never use export and import to transfer Outlook data is that
it loses a lot of data. DL's for example never survive. Just use one of the
corrects method for data transfer, e.g., copy the data file and open it in
the other installation.

Your mistake is thinking that exporting and importing is the correct way to
transfer data from one Outlook to another. Exporting and importing always
loses data and DLs are among the lost. Why not just open the PST (or a copy
of it) from the first profile in the second profile? No export/import needed.
