Actually.....I seem to remember the quote as posted by one of the forum members and while not too offending....gently got the message across. That's the one i'm looking for. I have 33 years in my company...I'll take my chances.

I'm also looking to copy my address / Contacts from my office laptop to my home p/c. Both are Outlook 2007 and both are WinXP. And where do these files live? At work we use Exchange on a network so I know the .pst's live on a 'home directory' share that all employees have....but at home it's...
