Transfere of address book

[Guest]

Before reformating hard drive I save Outlook address book on external drive.
now I want to import it into Outlook address book on the main internal drive.

How can it be done?
Thanks

It's hard to understand what you did, since Outlook has no address book.
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:

Hi Valentine! Thanks. I refered to Microsoft Outlook, where in Inbox under Address Book icon is a list of e-mail addresses. Your reply was very helpful, but I dont understand the remark that there is no Address book in Outlook.

That is simply a view of the electronic addresses that reside in your
Contacts Folder. It is a virtual address book that does not exist as a
separate data source.
