Outlook Version 2000 -SP3 unable to get Contacts from another computer

[Guest]

I have two computers both with XP Pro, and MS Office 2000.
One computer has NO contacts in the contacts file the
other one has all my current contacts. How can I bring one
in from the other. I have tried import/export, but just
can't get it to work. Both computers are on a network if
that helps. The file is to large to export to a floppy
disk. Also is there a way I can keep them both up
todate. I need to occasionally update one from the other
as records to change. I try to keep the main computer
upto date and would just like to be able to import the
updated records only (about once a month) Is this possible?

Will these installations ever need to access your Outlook data at the same
time?

Yes it is very likley, If its a problem I can try to do
what I have done for the last few years. i.e have a copy
of my contacts on each computer. The old problem with that
is keeping them all uptodate. I just don't seem able to
copy my contacts from one computer to the other. One is
blank due to fitting a new hard drive. I did somehow
manage to copy the "Calendar" but not the "Contacts"

There really is no good option for sharing Contacts if both users need to
access the data at the same time. If they didn't, you could just set each
profile to use the same PST file. Here are the other options:
