Exporting Contact Groups

[Diane]

Hi,

Using Outlook XP (2002), I can export (backup) my Contacts list and can
corectly and safely 'import' all the addresses into my other PC.

However, it doesn 't copy the content (or even the existence) of any 'Groups'.

I use Groups of contacts a great deal and would need to do a large amount of
re-typing if I wanted to copy manually my colection of groups.

So.... how do I safely export Contact Groups and the contents of those groups?

Exporting and importing is never the correct way to move data between
Outlook instances. An export is NOT a backup.

groups.

What's a Contact Group? Do you mean Distribution List? DLs never survive
exporting.

So.... how do I safely export Contact Groups and the contents of
those groups?

Just reuse your existing PST. Use Control Panel's Mail applet to add your
PST to the mail profile and make it the delivery location.
