You might want to do some snooping around the Microsoft site to see if what you want to do is even possible. An additional possibility is to join the outlook users list at yahoo groups and inquire there. They have at least 2 Outlook MVP's that field tough questions from users.

I have xp at home and 97 at work. I have tried send the contacts backup.pst to my work email addy. I click to download attachment and choose open with outlook. It say it cannot find the file. What did I do wrong? I'm thinking I can not import a backup.pst file. So basically I did not do the export of contacts in XP correctly, right? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
