I'm trying to back up my Outlook 2003 contact list but I can't find the file.
The Help file tells me there is no longer a Personal Address Book--just a
Contacts list. But I can't find it to back it up. Where do I look for it?

Click to expand...

Your Contacts folder is not kept in a file by itself. It's in the same file
as your mail, your Calendar, and all the other Outlook folders: your PST.
Outlook will tell you where that file is with File>Data File Management. To
back up all your data, close Outlook and copy the PST to someplace safe.
All done. For a more complete description, see
