change where contacts are stored

[Guest]

In outlook express I was able to chage the folder where my emails are saved
by going to tools/options/maintenance tab/stored button
In Outlook the maintenance tab does not exsist. I am trying to save my
emails to my slave drive. I also want to save all my contacts there as well
as the notes. Does anyone know how to do this in Outlook? !!!

You can place your Outlook data file wherever you want.
Close Outlook.
Move your data file.
Re-open Outlook and redirect it to the new location when it asks.

The file you need to move is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where
all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
