Transferring Contacts from Outlook to Outlook Express 1

[jbento]

I have just created an Outlook Express on my account for my wife. She would like all the contacts from my Outlook account transferred to her contact list so that she will not have to retype our contacts emails. Does anyone know how I can go about doing this?
God bless!

In Outlook - File, inport & export, export file, as comma separated values

Then in OE - import the same.

SMAH,
Thanks for your suggestions. This is what I did:
I went to Outlook and went to Import/Export, export file, comma separated values (windows), and saved to my desktop.
Then I went into OE and that is where the problem now lays

I went into OE and it was separate Import and Export selections, so I seleceted Import. It gave me several options 2 of which were Address Book or Other Address Book. Address book didn't pull up the file I needed so I went to Other Address Book and select Import Text File (comma separated) and got an import error message "Error Importing to Address Book".
I am working from Windows XP.
Thanks!

Your steps shoud work. When you exported from Outlook, did you choose the Contacts folder as the info to export?

You may also want to check event viewer for any more clues about the problem - Start, Run, evenvwr.msc

Thank you for all of your help. The problem I had was that when I went to transfer the data into my OE, the Inbox was highlighted. I closed out of OE, opened it back in and then nothing was selected. From there, the process worked like a charm!!!
God bless,
