cdun2 said:Thanks for the response. I tried the steps below. When I open the pst
file,
the active folder in Outlook becomes 'Archive Folders', and none of my
contacts from the .pst file appear (?).
The problem I was having before was with the 'Import and Export' wizard.
Since I cannot see the contacts from the pst file I just opened, I tried
the
wizard again. When I get to the point where I need to select the pst file,
I
get the following message: 'This Personal Folders File (.pst) is already
in
use in the current profile'. Where would it be 'in use'? I cannot see the
contacts from this pst file. This is very confusing.

Joe Grover said:It sounds like the PST file you're using is in fact one of your archive PSTs
(is it called archive.pst?), and Contacts are not archived. You' need the
actual PST that your content was delivered to in order to retrieve your
Contacts or--in the case of an Exchange server that isn't using PSTs--you'd
need access to your mailbox to export them.

If your Contacts are not in the PST when you go to File -> Open -> Outlook
Data File and expand that folder, then you're going to have a problem. Was
this an Exchange mailbox, or POP3/IMAP?
