Multiple Contact Files

S

Shoe

I have a home system that I use Outlook on as my mail client. I have approx.
30 contacts on this system. I have a work system where I have approx. 1200
contacts. I am leaving my current employment so I want to move my 1200
contacts from my work Outlook to my home Outlook (so I still have access to
them), but I don't want to add them to my existing Contacts file, nor do I
want the work one to replace my home one. What can I do? On my work
Outlook, when I click on the address book, I see a global address list in a
drop down box that when "dropped down", show Outlook Address Book at the top,
followed by Contacts (as a subheading under Outlook Address Book), followed
by Global Address List, etc., Can I somehow have my work contacts show up in
a list that I could then select?

Have you asked your employer? Those contacts belong to your employer.

They are my contacts (employers contacts were kept in CRM system)- I brought
them with me and I will take them with me.

If you brought them with you, why wouldn't you just use the same method in
reverse to take them with you? They are stored on your employers Exchange
Server, right?
No Outlook data is ever stored in an address book. Contacts are only stored
in Contact Folders in an Exchange mailbox or local data file.

When I put them on my work laptop, there were no contacts in Outlook so I
could simply import them in. However, as I indicated in my original posting,
my home Outlook already has a Contacts file and I do not want to overwrite it
- I want two separately identifiable Contacts files. When I did this on the
work laptop, I had imported to the check box that said "Import items into the
same folder in ... Personal Folders" However, if I do that this time on my
home pc, I believe I will just overwrite the Contacts I already have on the
home pc. I want to be able to flip back and forth in Outlook on my home pc
from my home contacts (Contacts) to work contacts (Work Contacts) somehow.
How do I do this?

You should never use "import" to transfer Outlook data. Your Outlook data
already exists in an Outlook data file. You simply open that file in Outlook
and copy what you want from it. If you want to place these Contacts in a
separate folder, then by all means, feel free to do so.

Russ,
I appreciate your assistance, but you are missing the point or I am missing
the point. What I want is to click on the address book icon and have two
files listed - Contacts and Work Contacts. How do I make this happen. Just
opening the pst file doesn't make it and if I am supposed to at that point
copy all 1200 contacts, where do I copy them? How do I accomplish what I
stated in my second sentence above?

Great, I have a file called Work Contacts.pst on my computer. When I right
click on that file, there is no option to call it an email address book in
its properties. When I navigate to that file and do a right click, there are
two tabs, a general and summary, neither which offer the option of calling
this an address book. How about an exact, sequence by sequence answer?

Russ,
You're speaking a language I am not familiar with. I don't see a Contacts
Folder. In Outlook, I see something labeled Contacts with an icon that looks
like a vcard. This icon is listed under my Personal Folder. I have a pst
file that has all my work contacts. I have no idea what a context menu is.
Can you provide a very simple answer for me? I have not created any special
folders for Outlook so whatever is created when Outlook is installed is what
I have. Please note that the Outlook on my work laptop is via Exchange
whereas the Outlook on my home computer is using imapi to Time Warner Road
Runner email.

You can't do this from Windows Explorer. Open that PST in Outlook with
File>Open>Outlook Data File. After Outlook adds that PST to the folder
list, then if it contains a contacts folder, you'll see it and you can
right-click that folder, choose Properties, and then the Outlook Address
Book tab.

Again. I already told you. You are looking at the Contacts Folder when you
look at the folder called "Contacts" that is listed under your Personal

in
Outlook
and copy what you want from it. If you want to place these Contacts
in
a
separate folder, then by all means, feel free to do so.

When I put them on my work laptop, there were no contacts in
Outlook
so
I
could simply import them in. However, as I indicated in my
original
posting,
my home Outlook already has a Contacts file and I do not want to
overwrite
it
- I want two separately identifiable Contacts files. When I did
this
on
the
work laptop, I had imported to the check box that said "Import
items
into
the
same folder in ... Personal Folders" However, if I do that this
time
on
my
home pc, I believe I will just overwrite the Contacts I already
have
on
the
home pc. I want to be able to flip back and forth in Outlook on
my
home
pc
from my home contacts (Contacts) to work contacts (Work Contacts)
somehow.
How do I do this?

:

If you brought them with you, why wouldn't you just use the same
method
in
reverse to take them with you? They are stored on your employers
Exchange
Server, right?
No Outlook data is ever stored in an address book. Contacts are
only
stored
in Contact Folders in an Exchange mailbox or local data file.

They are my contacts (employers contacts were kept in CRM
system)- I
brought
them with me and I will take them with me.

:

Have you asked your employer? Those contacts belong to your
employer.

I have a home system that I use Outlook on as my mail
client.
I
have
approx.
30 contacts on this system. I have a work system where I
have
approx.
1200
contacts. I am leaving my current employment so I want to
move
my
1200
contacts from my work Outlook to my home Outlook (so I
still
have
access
to
them), but I don't want to add them to my existing Contacts
file,
nor
do
I
want the work one to replace my home one. What can I do?
On
my
work
Outlook, when I click on the address book, I see a global
address
list
in
a
drop down box that when "dropped down", show Outlook
Address
Book
at
the
top,
followed by Contacts (as a subheading under Outlook Address
Book),
followed
by Global Address List, etc., Can I somehow have my work
contacts
show
up
in
a list that I could then select?
