Importing Contacts from outlook 2002 to outlook 2003

[mpnichols]

I recently had to reinstall Windows and install a new hard dirve. The
problematic hard drive is still installed as a slave, I plan to remove it as
soon as I get the last of the data migrated to the new drive with the clean
install. The new installation of windows is the XP Pro, I was previously
using office 2002 pro, I purchased and installed office 2003 pro on the new
drive. I am happy to report that I have been able to migrate about 90% of
the data from the problematic drive, the exception is that I cannot get the
contacts from outlook 2002 moved over to outlook 2003. I was able to move
the .pst file but I have not been able to move or locate the address book in
outlook 2002. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is no address book in Outlook. All Contact data is stored in the PST
file's Contacts Folder.
Just open your old PST file. All your data will be there.
Importing Outlook data is not recommended.
