import contactsHow do I import contacts to outlook07 from outlook03 using a pst backup
file? I am attempting to do this as I did it in outlook03 and Outlook says I do not have permission to open the file. Thanks. As posted daily, usually several times, niether Import or Export is the way
to treat native OL data files The pst should be located on the hd, or jump drive, with the read only attribute off, then in OL file>Open>Data File.......browse to the location. Then copy data from one to the other Show quote "jones" <t**@lafnxxx.org> wrote in message news:ecDSSQ8LIHA.2064@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > How do I import contacts to outlook07 from outlook03 using a pst backup > file?

file/open/outlook data file, and drag the contacts. This is the same method I am attempting now.

(Courtesy of Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]) Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose: 1. Custom Forms 2. Custom Views 3. Connections between contacts and activities 4. Received dates on mail 5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar 6. Journal connections 7. Distribution Lists Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise people to import a native file into Outlook.  |
