had created anumber of custom views to use in Contacts and Tasks. I
recently changed the Outlook data file and the location for my email folders.
When I did that, I lost all the views. I want to restore them. The original
data file and mail folder was an Exhchange server file and I am now using a
data file and mail folder on my local computer. The Exchange server is no
longer available so I cant reconnect to it. I did export the data file before
I disconnected from the Exchange file. Any help would be appreciated.

Any folder-specific views that you created were stored in those folders. When you export, only the individual items are exported, not the settings for the source folders. Since the Exchange server is no longer available, you will not be able to gain access to the custom views and will need to recreate them.
