Here is the deal: Running W2k at home and work. I exported the contacts list (to a floppy) at work and want to import it at home but i get the warning: The file A:\ backup .pst could not be opened. I'm running W2k on both machines with full administration. Any ideas? Also can i email the contacts list to my home? How would i do it?

Sorry. Outlook 2000. I tried the excel thing. It copied all of the info, but when i moved it to the contacts on outlook the email addresses did not move(names did though) but there in the excel file. What did i do wrong??

it could be something as simple as a bad floppy. those floppy disks are not a reliable media in my opinion. almost every day i throw away a floppy that went bad for no apparent reason.
assuming you went thru the export to pst file process correctly, try copying the file to another floppy, or simply e-mailing the pst file to yourself.
alternatively, you can also export contacts to a comma or tab delimited text file and import it that way, which should work as well.
Happy computing!
