Import and Export Contacts

[Paleo]

How could I import and export my contacts using a macro?

Hi Carlos :hi:

I'm not sure about this... I know it's easy to import a PST into your Outlook namespace Sub ImportPST()

Dim olNS As NameSpace

Set olNS = GetNamespace("MAPI")
olNS.AddStore "C:\My Documents\MyContacts.pst"

End Sub
but exporting is different...
I think you may have to iterate through the Contact items, get the properties and pass them to an export file - easy if you want to export to Excel or text of some kind, but I don't know how to make a PST

Hi Killian,

great you already solved 50% and this helps me a lot, now I just wait for someone else to help me on the other 50%, because I am having some trouble on making that pst.:banghead:

Hi Killian,

the import worked great, so now my problem is to export the messages for a text file AND a pst.
