How do I implement file import in outlook 2007

I am using Vista and Office 2007 on my laptop. I want to import my contacts
from my desktop which has Office 2003 and XP Professional.
WHen I select "Import and Export" all I get is a widow saying "not
implemented".
Really informative! And I cannot find an answer on the net.
Please help me!!!

Not something I have seen before as a message but am going to assume that it
means that the Outlook import/export functions were not installed when
Office 2007 was put on your system. Re-run your setup for Office - select
add/remove - you will find import/export options under Outlook. You'll need
the install CD for Office '2007

O'2003 is import/export. Just copy the PST files from your desktop to your
laptop and open the PST files in O'2007 (in Outlook - from menu -->
File --> Open Data File). Once the old PST files are open - copy the info
you want to your new folders and remove the old files (or maintain both -
whichever suits your purposes) - just <do not> use import/export functions
for this scenario.

Of, he can simply designate the original PST as the delivery location

Of, he can simply designate the original PST as the delivery location instead
of doing all the copying.

Brian, you are absolutely right.

Brian, you are absolutely right. The reason I did not think to add that was
that for some reason I had it in my mind that the O'2007 config was already
in use and new data in O'2007 already existed (which may or may not have
been a correct assumption). Either case,  your suggestion certainly should
have been included as a possible option in the original answer for it to be
complete.
