exporting contacts

[Ben Yandell]

I have outlook 2002. I need to export all of my contacts (1900+) to another
computer that runs outlook 2007. How do I do this. I read several answers to
questions about creating a data file and copying contacts into that file. I
don't know how to do that either.

Go to the File menu > New > Outlook Data File to create a new PST file. You
can then copy your contacts into that set of Personal Folders. Close
Outlook, copy the new PST file to new machine and open it using the File
menu > Open > Outlook Data File command. Copy the contacts into the Personal
Folders your using

Vince,
I have created a pst file and I have copied my contacts into that personal
folder. So far so good. However, I don't know how to "copy the new PST file
to the new machine." Please tell me how to do that.
Ben

Put it on a USB drive or copy it over the network. That's really a Windows
issue not an Outlook one since it's essentially moving a file from PC-A to
PC-B
