Hi

Can anyone help me on Oulook 2003 Group address book. When I export the
contact.pst file and import it on another machine, it imports the contacts
and group but members in the groups are missing. Just the group name is
imported. Any idea on how to resolve this. please?

What do you mean by "Group" addressbook?
Are you using export to create a pst file from a pst file?
If so that is going against all the advice posted here on a daily basis on
how to migrate data from one Outlook to another.

Are you speaking of Distribution Lists? DLs rarely survive export/import. In
fact, export/import is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data from one
PC to another. See this:
