Guest Hessie Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Both my wife and I are uding Outlook 2003 for our e-mail. She asked me if I could put my Address Book on her computer so I went to the Knowledge Base and downloaded quite a few documents. For a couple weeks now I have been trying all the various methods for copying Outlook.pst and Archive.pst files to her computer and I have been successful, but with one problem... I only want to put my Address Book on her computer, but when I follow all the Import/Export instructions I seem to get my entire Personal Folder with my Inbox, Saved Documents and every other item under my Personal Folders, but no change in her Address Book!!! Does anyone know how to copy just my Address Book to her Outlook and nothing else? I only seem to have .pst files. No .pab files that some of the Knowledge Base documents refer to. Do I have to create .pab files somehow?

Guest R. McCarty Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: Address Book Question You just "Open" your .Pst module. Once open navigate to the Contacts of the Personal Folder. Then you click "Edit/Select All" and then Edit "Copy to Folder" using her contacts as the destination. After copying just close your .Pst file and then verify that your contacts are now also in her Personal Folder/Contacts.

Lots of folks in a group with OUTLOOK in its title would be able to help you. Notice this group LACKS that word. Ask elsewhere
