OK, File, Import and Export, Export to a file, Personal Folder File (.pst), Contacts, save exported file as Outlook Contact copies, then xport files and .... there is a file called "backup" on my desktop. I don't have another computer where I am to transfer the file so I don't know if I have success. I'll know tomorrow -- besides I did this on my Windows 7 pc and it is really the Vsta pc at work that has the .pst files I want to transfer to this computer. Thanks so much.
