Not very much farther along, are we? Opening a previous Outlook data file in
no way connects it to your profile which is what your error messages are
telling you. If you would like to use your previous file as your default
file then follow the instructions that have been posted here many times to
migrate Outlook data correctly.

Sorry my mistake - wrong terminology - when I first activated my new
version
of outlook, I created a whole new data file. When I was done setting it
up,
I went to "File; Open; Oulook Data File" and opened my old pst file in the
new data file.
