Hi Guys, Thanks for all the suggestions. The situation is not quite what I first said, I tried to keep it simple in the hopes that someone on this list would have had a similar experience and come across the solution. The full story is that a friend has an old machine running Outlook 2000 (I think, it may be 2003) which has frozen on him, probably due to the excessive number of jokes he insists on hoarding. He has replaced it with a new machine and Outlook 2010 and wants to start again by copying just the contacts across; he asked me how to do it so I explored Outlook 2010 - I like to export my contacts at intervals as a backup so this would be a good opportunity to learn how to do it in 2010. This was when I hit the error message!
I'll get him to copy the .pst file across to see if that will transfer his contacts but it still leaves me with the problem of exporting from Outlook 2010, I'll investigate Thunderbird. Will the iPhone synch with Thunderbird as easily as it does with Outlook?
