Exporting Contacts From Outlook To Outlook Express

My laptop's been playing merry hell today so I'm transferring everything over to my desktop so I could so a system recovery. But..... any ideas how I export contacts from my laptop's Outlook, to my desktop's Outlook Express. It's a doddle the other way round (but that doesn't really help me in my current predicament!!).

All ideas gratefully received.

Cheers,

Andy

I did that last year (albiet between OE on a desktop to OE on a Laptop so I'm not sure if any extra options you might have with Outlook).
All I did was export the addressbook as a comma delimited text file directly from OE (File, Export, Addressbook).
Then on the other computer I imported it into OE (FILE, Import, Other Addressbook)
It worked a treat.
I perhaps could have done it another way but I knew that with a comma demlimted text file I could still read it and extract my contacts manually incase anything went wrong on the import side.

Cheers Flubflow. I've exported as CSV, text you name it, but when I go to import, OE doesn't see the files on the menu.

EDIT: Sussed it! I'm an idiot. Was choosing the wrong import option. Sorry for wasting your time.
