| Guest | Exporting Contacts I am attempting to copy my contacts in WLM, and import them to WM. But I have encountered the following problems: 1. WLM only gives me the option to Export either Messages or Accounts, not Contacts. 2. WM gives me the option to Import Contacts, but when I click on this option , a new box opens with no dialogue, a red X, and an OK button. Regards, __ Green Pea |

| Guest | Re: Exporting Contacts Hello again Don, Thanks for pointing me to the right door. Gary finally concluded that my Outlook 2000 interferes with the WM contacts. He provided me with a good workaround.
