Outlook Contact Address book data file

[Howard Fraser]

I am unable to start Outlook 2000 on my laptop, and I am
prompted to reinstall it, but I would like to make a copy
of my very large Contact data file. What is the name of
the file that has all my contacts?

Thank you in advance.

The file you need to back up is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's
where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
