Move contacts folders

[Dave]

I need to my Outllok 2003 contacts folders from one machine to another.

Where are these contacts stored? I can find the mail folders in the pst
file but where are the contacts?

Same place as the mail folders: the PST. See

In the PST file. If you just want a copy of your contacts on another
computer, you can export your contacts to a separate PST file (file |
import/export....) and then open it or import it on the other computer.

Thanks guys.

Okay the contacts are there so I guess my real question is how do I
associated them with my address book?

When I create a new email in Outlook and click ooon the "To" button, it
tells me that the address list cannot be displayed.

How can I point the address list to the contacts?

Right-click your Contacts folder and choose Properties. Click the Outlook
Address Book tab. Click the "Show this folder and an e-mail Address Book"
check box. If that box is grayed out, add the Outlook Address Book service
to your profile (Tools>E-mail Accounts>Add a new directory or address
book>Next>Additional Address Books>Next>Outlook Address Book>Next), then go
back and check the box.
