How do you transfer the contact folder from an one client's Outlook contact folder to another client's Outlook folder?

YOU MUST USE THE EXPORT FEATURE IN OUTLOOK
YOU FIRST EXPORT THE CONTACTS FOLDER AS A .PST
FILE AND AFTER THAT YOU GO TO THE CLIENT AND
IMPORT THAT PST FILE.THATS ALL.

If both clients are on the same Exchange server, create a new contact folder under the Public folders; both clients should be able to "see" it. Select all (Ctrl+A) and copy (Edit;Copy) the first client's contacts into the new folder. In the second client's Outlook, copy the contacts FROM the new public contacts folder into the client's own Contacts folder (Edit;Paste). No exporting and importing needed.
I hope that this helps.

Both of the above suggestions are good. Here's a 3rd option: Copy straight from one user's contacts to the other. Have the target user right-click on their contacts folder, goto Properties and then grant the source user permissions. Then the source user can goto File->Open->Other Users Folder and select the other user's contacts folder. Then the source user can drag and drop them directly.

If you go under File -> Open -> Personal Folders File(.pst) and search for the second users pst file you can transfer the whole folder from there. Or else you can export the folder into another document and import it into the destination folder.N&H
