Outlook 2003

[fls]

I have a new computer and do not want to retype all the contacts from the old
box. I have tried to copy the outlook pst files from the old to the new. When
I open outlook in the new computer no contact information is available. Could
any help? TIA. fls

What did you do? How did you configure Outlook to use your old file?
Copying a PST over another will only corrupt your profile.
Use these instructions:

I don't care about E-mail messages. I want to recover my address book. I
followed your posted suggestion, however I did not see any of the contact
information.

When I opened the pst file from outlook to view the information nothing was
displayed. I tried this on my laptop which still has the address book in tack
but was not able to identify the address book information there either. I am
lost. fls

Note, there is no address book in Outlook. All Contact data resides in the
Contacts Folder. If your Outlook Data File has no Contact information in the
Contacts Folder, only you could know how you lost it. If you deleted it by
mistake, it would be in your Deleted Items Folder.
