Vista - Creating a new Group for my Business Contacts

Ok, I have spoke with 3 tech supporters and I still can not figure this out.
I am a vendor at trade shows, and I get email contacts from each one, for
example,
UNF is one event I do, JEA is a different event.
I do not have time to enter the info. at my shop. I have bellsouth and
outlook express at my shop and I have Comcast and Windows mail at my home. I
want to enter the info. at my home and export it to my shop. I have tried to
download outlook express to my computer at home, but it is not letting me
download it. I dont know if it is because I have vista windows or what. Can
someone help me figure this out?
One tech said I might have to get a flash card and download it to that, and
take it to the shop to download it. I would like to be able to just export it!

1st, why use a free e-mail program for a business?????

Outlook Express will not work in Windows Vista.

Export Windows Vista Contacts as a Comma Separated Values text file and
import that into Outlook Express Address Book.

Windows Mail does not have groups of Contacts.
Export your current contacts to a csv file.
Delete all of your contacts.
Enter the contacts for one event.
Export the contacts to a csv file.
Delete all of your contacts.
Enter the contacts for the second event.
Export the contacts to a csv file.
Delete all of your contacts.
Enter the contacts for the third event.
Export the contacts to a csv file.
Delete all of your contacts.
Import the original contacts.

Outlook Express is not a free email that I use, I pay for it with my
bellsouth account at my shop. I was going to download it to my home computer
so that I can export my address book to my shop. I spoke with a tech on the
phone and he told me that Windows Mail will not let me export my address book
to OE, and that I had to download OE on my home computer to export the
address book, I wouldn't use it for anything else.

I did find how to create a group in Windows Mail, go to tools, windows
contacts, and create a group, but I feel real dumb because I can not figure
out how to send an email out of that group. The group does not show up in my
Windows Mail...ugggggg, I am so frustrated over this!

Outlook Express is included with Internet Explorer (before IE 7).
IE and Outlook Express have always been a free download.
You can't download OE, because it comes with IE6.
You already have IE7 with Vista.

Do you have Excel or a spreadsheet program?
You could keep the mailing lists in a csv files or a spreadsheet files.

You can't export to OE, but you can export to a csv file.
OE will import from a csv file.

Note: What this gets you is an all-or-nothing mailing list.
You can't (on the spur of the moment) delete one of the members
of a group.

I found out where I can create a group, but I cant figure out how to add it
to my inbox. go to tools, windows contacts, and add a group, but from there,
I am not sure how to send emails from it....ugggggg.......
I am stressing over this!
I dont have excell, and I am sure if have a spreadsheet on here, but I just
wanted to export my address book, but I guess I cant do that.
