Outlook Address Problem

Danfoss2011 · 15 Jun 2011 at 23:26

Im trying to help a friend out but doesnt seam to be the case sadly.

She has Outlook 2003 on the old unit and Outlook 2011 or what ever the very latest version is these days on the new beast.

I've gotten the 2 address working fine no problems.

It's getting all her e-mail address over. When i look into contact there are non but soon as you go to write an e-mail you can just type A and a list of names and address come up.

Is there a way to get them all and export them into the new Outlook on here new pc?

Copy the nk2 file - this contains the autocompletes.

export the contact portion of her outlook file on the 2003 version (old machine) and then import them in to the new version. I believe the import/export option is under file on the menu bar.
