(Outlook 2003 SP3) Despite constant pleas to put important contacts into the
company's 'shared contacts' folder, one luser just types new contacts into
the 'To' field, and Outlook kindly remembers them as he starts to type on
subsequent occasions. He's been doing this for ten years. He's now got a
new workstations, and it seems that Outlook "remembers" these contacts
locally, so he's got no contacts anymore. I can set the old workstation up
somewhere and have him go through all his contacts and write them down, but
is there a simple file of "remembered" entries that can be copied from the
old workstation to the new?

You need the *.nk2 file from the old machine.
However - I would suggest that some sort of compulsory
education/disciplinary might be necessary....

Many thanks both. Yeah, I'm already reaching for the clue-by-four.
