Contacts folder

[pfkorman]

My entire address book has been entered into my Outlook 2002 Contacts. How do
I backup my Contacts folder? Is the Contacts folder different than the .wab
file? Thanx.

It is completely different than the WAB. The WAB has nothing to do with
Outlook Contacts. You back up Contacts the same way you do the rest of your
Outlook data. Make a copy of your Outlook data file:
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

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

OK, thanx for the quick reply. I'll read the references you supplied and get
smart.
