Lotus Notes contacts/calendar imported

I really need is to have all of another person's Lotus Notes contacts/calendar imported into my laptop which already had Lotus Notes installed.  This employee is not working with the company anymore. He had his own laptop, and I have my own laptop. Please help me to copy his entire calendar, contact etc into my laptop. Thanks for your help.

Copy the names.nsf from their laptop over to your laptop or a USB drive, open it from your notes client and copy/paste into your address book

Hi brwwiggings, As you've said to copy the names.nsf, if this file is copied into my computer then would my names.nsf be owerwritten? Then would my contacts be gone? Am I wrong. And besides the names.nsf file, which file should I copy over to my computer. Thanks for your help.

so with that way, it will simply add the contacts to my list instead of overwritting my current ones?

Thanks
yes, it will also create duplicates if you have identical contacts but small price to pay if you really want the contacts I guess
ANother option is simply to copy the names.nsf as names1.nsf and open it when needed.

If you want the contacts transparently, you can add it to your local address book as a seconf address book.

I would also just copy the mail DB locally and access as needed.

The info is going to be out of date quickly in any case.


I hope this helps !
thanks for the help
