Multiple Contact Files?

[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?

Yes, copy the contact to a pst-file and transfer that pst-file to you own
PC. You can then rename that additional Contacts folder and move it to your
own folder set.

Roady, I'm not the sharpest stick in the forest. I have exported my contacts
on my work Outlook to a pst file on a removable disk. If I hook that disk up
to my home system, how do I copy the pst contacts file from the removable
disk to a location on my home system's hard drive? Then, how do I gain
access to it (under a name like "Work Contacts") in my home Outlook?

Use File-> Open-> Outlook Data File... to connect to the pst-file. From
there you can move your items to the folder you want.
