Send Contacts to new PC

M

Mark

Someone was nice enough to explain how to back-up Contacts
by locating PST file, then copying to disk or floppy (if
it is small)when Outlook is closed, but didnt xplain
procedure. I have exported contacts to pst file then to
floppy, but I am unable to load that onto a new PC (also
with Outlook). Maybe I'm missing something? Have been to
the Outlook support site and everything is about E-mail.
I need to transfer about 200 contacts from a W98 PC (with
floppy and CD reader only),to another PC (Wme)that does
have a CD-writer and floppy. Can these contacts be E-
mailed to myself? Can someone direct me to a site that
will give me step by step instructions? Am receiving
conflicting info on best way to do this transfer.
Thanks
Mark

Copy the PST file from the floppy to the hard drive on the other machine.
Use the File menu > Import & Export command again to get the data from that
PST file into your regular PST file or Exchange mailbox
