Send a copy of my contacts to someone else in the office.

[Tammy G]

Can anyone tell me how to copy my contact list and send it to someone else in
the office. I've done it before, but it's been a long time.

What do you mean by contact list? Outlook has no such thing and uses no such
term.

Russ, do you work for Microsoft? I think obvious thing that comes to mind is that contact list means your contacts that are in a list. In Outlook 2003 it is called "My Contacts" or just "Contacts". I am interested in hearing some answers as my "contact list" just disappeared yesterday and I don't know what file this info is stored in or if it can be retrieved.

Care to guess how many "lists" of Contacts exist in Outlook?
All Outlook data resides in a single file. Contacts do not reside separately
from the rest of your Outlook data. There is no such thing as a separate
"list" of Contacts.
It is up to you to post an accurate account of what "list" you think is
missing and why. You've posted no information and we can't read minds.

I would refer to a 'distribution list' in the Outlook

Hi Tammy I am running outlook 2003 - select / single click on your contact
list / distribution list - @ the top menu bar select 'forward' and it will
attach the list in an email doc youcan send to someone elsd

If you mean the contents of your Contacts folder, then you have a couple of
choices. One is to export the folder as a file. A CSV file works well.
Another is to create a new PST, copy your Contacts folder to it, and send that
PST as an attachment. You may have to change its file type or zip it up
before sending, if your work policies block sending PSTs.

Excellent. So now we have 3 different guesses as to what the OP meant by
"contact list." Probably none of them is right.
That's why we recommend using the same terms Outlook uses instead of your
own. Saves others a lot of time and trouble.
