Moving contacts to PC

[rookiemp]

I primarily use OL for tasks & contacts in my clerical support role. I'm
trying to copy contacts that I saved on my jump drive as a PST file onto my
home laptop and I keep getting an incorrect password error message at the
personal folders box when trying to import the data file. I'm using the
directions from MS Outlook's site.

I was successful transporting from PC-PC some time ago at the worksite using
a floppy. Also, though it works, I don' quite understand why my floppy has
to be used at the 2nd PC where I exported the file to whenever I open Outlook.

Thanx to anyone much more proficient than me!--

You never transfer data by importing. You open the file in Outlook. You can
only open a file that is on a hard drive and that has no read only
attribute.

Im still lost on why OL would not open on my nd work PC w/o the floppy
containing the pst file even tho it was already installed on the PC.

Because you had not reset that Outlook profile to the proper location of
your file.
