Thank you Gary,
I created a new folder under C:\users\{username}\contacts and moved the
contacts file over to it. Could you please clarify that what is needed is a
FOLDER named contacts with the contacts file underneath it? Or is
C:\users\{username}\contacts Is the contacts the filename? I have tried both
ways and have not been successful. The system keeps changing things! Sorry
to be so dense. I've been looking at this a long time.
thank you
