Linda There definitely IS an import/export option in the file of the Office Beta 2003. I am using it and it is staring me in the face. A while back I had a problem of making my contact list be an address book in Office 2003. beta. The eventual solution was saving my pst file and uninstalling the Outlook and then re-installing it. Everything then fell into place. Maybe that's what you have to try. Errol -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda F.

Sorry to keep posting beta questions in here, but I've searched the MS groups and see others posting this problem and getting no answer...and I've sent it to some Outlook groups and got no answer, so I'm gonna ask you people in here who are using the Office 2003 beta... _____________ Is anyone else running this beta and can help me? Here's my problem I am running Outlook 2003 beta 2, with the most recent Technical Refresh Patch I want to share my Outlook Address book (I have my contacts in my Contacts Folder and have the option checked to "show this as an Outlook Address Book) with Outlook Express 6 but I can't figure out how to do it in either Outlook or OE. When I go into OE and try to Import it, it asks for a file location...so I assume I have to Export it to a file in Outlook first? However, in Outlook 2003 there is no long an Import/Export command in the File Menu or in the Address Book itself...so I'm lost as to how to do this Why isn't there an Import/Export feature in Outlook's File Menu anymore?? I use this a LOT to bring in info from Excel to make new contacts folders etc....if we no longer have Import/Export capabilities how do we do this stuff now? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Linda F.
