I have a new computer. I copied all my contacts from my old computer to a
floppy disk. Is there a folder I can copy them back to on my new computer? I
am using OUTLOOK 2000.
 
How did you "copy" these Contacts and in what format?
Contacts do not exist in a separate file.
All Outlook data exists in one file.
 
In OUTLOOK on the Contacts Screen, I "selected all" then copied and pasted
to a Folder on the Floppy Disk in "A" drive. I can open the folder and each
indivudal contact on the floppy looks just like it does in OUTLOOK. Type of
file for each contact is "Outlook Item." It almost seems that I could copy
them back to some sort of subdirectory in OUTLOOK. Thanks

That will create a Contact Record in .msg format.
So what happens when you copy them into your Contacts Folder?

Worked great! Copied the files right into Outlook Contacts.
Thanks for the help.
