[I posted this query in microsoft.public.outlook.contacts and
microsoft.public.outlook but received no responses, so I am trying this
newsgroup, as it has heavier traffic.]

I would like to provide my contact database to my associates, but I want to
first eliminate any Contacts marked 'Private'. In taking a look at the
export filters, I don't see any means of accomplishing my objectives. How
can I export all Contacts except those marked 'Private'?
 
In the export filters, you can use Advanced, All Contact Fields, and add
"private=no"
 
When I click on "File/Import and Export/Export to a File" I am not seeing
any place to enter an export filter. Could you point me in the right
direction? (I am running MS Office 2003, and would like to export to a .pst
file.)

I don't have OL2003 here, but in OL2002, you select the file, and then
there's a filter button. Have you tried F1 for help within there?

You are absolutely correct! I must have looked at that screen a dozen times
but never previously saw the Filer button, and there is a Filter to exclude
Private contacts. Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help.
 
Glad it worked!
