I have 2 computers; both have Microsoft Office Outlook 2003; one has unicode
and the other does not; one is at home and one is on the company exchange
server. I want to update my contact lists and keep them consistent from one
computer to the other. Exporting from my office contact list (non-unicode)
and importing into my home computer (unicode), works great. Exporting from
my home computer (unicode) and importing to my office computer (non-unicode)
results in a translation warning message: stating that I am importing to a
non unicode supported location and that multilingual data may be lost and
recommends going to a location that supports unicode.
I have no multilingual data in my contact list. What will happen if I try
to go ahead and import the contact.pst to my office computer? Will it
transfer the data properly and fully?
 
Importing and exporting are always the worst choice for transferring Contact
data. Not only do you lose data, you also lose the capacity to control file
format.
Instead you should create a new PST format in whatever format you want and
copy your Contacts into it.
 
Where can I find out how to create a new PST format in which to copy my
contacts and how I can move these from one computer to the other? thanks
