Back Up of Contacts in MS Office 2016 Outlook
Back Up of Contacts in MS Office 2016 Outlook
Can anyone tell me how I can make a back up of my contacts in MS Office 2016 Outlook. I have had to reinstall my Office a few times this month and although I can reload my messages using archive.pst and backup.pst files it doesn't seem to reinstate my contacts from before having to reinstall Office 2016. For Information I am running Windows 10 and wish I wasn't.

RW,
I used your link and was successful. I had used the same procedure to save my archived messages but didn't realise that you could use it for contacts.
JB,
Thanks for trying. I had used your solution in the past with older versions of Office, but I don't think that is a possibility with newer versions. In fact I seem to remember at the time when Microsoft changed back up files for contacts from .wab format to .pst it was a dickens of a job to transfer contacts.
