Transfer contacts from OL03 XP to OL07 Vista

[Ken]

This has probably been asked before so if it has I apologize. I just
purchased a new laptop and I want to transfer all of my contacts from OL03
to OL07 and I just cant get it to work with import/export function. I would
like to save the file to a thumbdrive so I may transfer contacts to my
office computer as well.

I know this may be very basic, but I am having alot of trouble...help.

You should never use import or export to transfer Outlook data. The correct
methods for transferring Outlook data are posted here several times a day:
