Outlook 2003 cant access .contact files in Vista Contacts folder.

I have Office 2003. It used to be able to access .contact files in my
Contacts folder with Outlook. I have Vista Home Premium and recently changed
to 64 bit but now my .contact files no longer show up in Outlook.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about. What exactly do
you mean by "I have Office 2003. It used to be able to access .contact
files"?
How did you do the change to 64 bit Windows?

Not possible. Outlook 2003 doesn't use .contact files. Windows Mail does,
though, I believe.

Vista has a folder colled Contacts, the files there use the extention .contact
My outlook 2003 used to show those contacts in my contacts list before I
reloaded with vista 64 bit. now thay no longer show up in outlook

Ok, All I know is that before reloading Vista, I sent my phone book from my
cell phone via bluetooth to my notebook. When I did I think I was asked if I
used Outlook. Aneyway, after the transfer I had a folder filled with .contact
files. The next time I ran outlook all those same phone# and emal addresses
were there. When I reloaded vista I thought copying the .contact files back
would be enough....I was wrong. Maby your wright and another file was created
when I sent the phone book from my cell....I dont know. All I know is that my
peoples information was there and now there not.
