I have created the new PST file using file>new>outlook data but, when I go to
contacts, right click and click on "copy contacts", it wants me to copy to
only the folders within OL and I can't seem to direct the copy to the new PST
file location. What am I doing wrong here?? I'm sure it is very simple but
pls help.
thanks
John
 
go back a step and explain what you are trying to do and why.

Open the old contacts folder and press CTRL-A. That will select all the
contacts. Then click Edit>Copy to Folder and specify your new Contacts
folder as the destination..
 
thanks but, still the same problem. I have created the new outlook data file
outside of OL correct? ie. in another directory using windows explorer. Now,
when I go back to the OL and right click on "contacts" and click on "copy to
folder", it will only offer me the folders within OL to copy to and not the
newly created data file.
What I am trying to do is send my OL2003 contacts file to my wife's OL2000
via email and I have been following Brian's recipe to do this from May 3 2005
but still not getting something right?? any more tips pls.
thanks

Certainly not. Create it with Outlook. File>New>Outlook Data File.
ie. in another directory using
windows explorer. Now, when I go back to the OL and right click on
"contacts" and click on "copy to folder", it will only offer me the
folders within OL to copy to and not the newly created data file.
