Copying Contacts

[Kalevi]

I have managed to copy Outlook Contacts from PC A to PC B, but I only get
this far:
Personal Folders
Contacts
Contacts1

This is to say I cannot copy it to the original file (contacts). It allways
appeares as Contacts1?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Kalevi

You've provided no information on what you're doing.
Seems to me you should be copying Folder contents, not entire folders.

Sorry about the inaccuracy. Trying to move contacts, the actual names,
addresses etc from PC A to PC B

Copy PC A's PST to PC B and place it somewhere on the hard drive. Remove
the read-onl;y attribute, if needed. Start Outlook. Open the PST with
FIle>Open>Outlook Data File. Open that PST's Contacts folder. Select the
first contact, then press CTRL-A to select them all. Click Edit>Copy to
Folder and specify the default Contacts folder as the destination. All
done.

But that's not what you're doing. You're trying to move the entire folder.
That's why it gets renamed since you can't have two folders with the same
name in the one PST file. Do what Brian suggested.
