I need to move contact from Outlook 2003 to Outlook XP Help?

[Dennis]

I just got a new laptop with Windows Vista. I also got Microsoft Office XP
for it and I am trying to move my contacts from the old desktop to the lap
top. How is the best way to do it. I tried to back them up to a .pst file
and it told me I could not open it as it was an incorrect version.

Thanks for your help.

See if you can export your contacts to an Excel file by highlighting the
contacts then choose File, Import / Export and select export to an Excel 2003
file. Once exported put that file onto your new system and use the same
Import / Export except import and selct the new Contacts folder.

Ignore anyone who says "export". See this:
