If you used File Open then you can do one of two things with the file you
opened:
1. Copy the data you want from it into your current file
2. Set the old file to be your default then close the new file after you
restart Outlook.

Now that I think of it I think the same thing happened last time I tried
this. I can copy my folders to the Personal Folders section I think.

Why didn't you do what you said? You use File Open. You never use
Import unless you want to lose data or corrupt your profile, which you
have now done.

It seems to have worked fine with a minor (I assume) problem. The import
created a separate folder tree entitled Bob's Folders as it was on the
other computer. It contains all my created subfolders and data. Above
that is still the default Personal Folders tree (which I no longer
need). How do I get rid of that section?

Thanks again... Bob

Yes to all. Those are you best options for transferring Outlook data.

news I installed Office on the new computer. Can I just copy the pst file
from the old to new computer? Can I put it in a different location if
I wish and just choose the Flie/Open command to the new location?

Thanks in advance... Bob
