Hi, I have transferred from one pc to another and would like to also transfer my MS Outlook 2000 Address book/Contacts list. Is there a simple way, or do I need to retype every single one? Hopefiully the former is the answer! Thanks. Trish

Just copy your Contacts Folder into a new PST file.
Copy that PST file to the new PC and open it in Outlook.

Even better is simply to copy your entire original PST file and reuse it in
the new installation. It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are
stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
