When you chose FileOpen, OL didnt 'import' anything it simply opened the
old data file, as a seperate Personal Folders group.
Simply copy data from this data file to your main 'default' data file -
either copy data or drag and drop

When finished, close this old data file.
Though if this data file is located on your new PC you can keep it open.
OL can have multiple pst's open. Just ensure when transfering pst's you dont
overwrite any existing ones, perhaps locate them in My Documents
By default OL stores its data files in the \Documents &
Settings\username\..............grouping. You can store them elsewhere if
you wish.

Outlook 2003

I realize the topic has probably been covered ad nausium but I still can't
find out how to solve this problem. Any help that can be given would be
greatly appreciated. I have just bought a new computer (Vista) I
installed Office 2003. I chose File/Open/Outlook Data File and pointed to
the pst file that was on the old computer. Outlook imported everything
into a separate "Personal Folders" list. I want the information all in
the main Personal Folders. How do I do this? Also because I've been
transferring the old pst folder to the new computer I now have 3 pst files
on the new computer. Will this confuse Outlook? I'm not even sure which
is the folder that Outlook is currently using (maybe all of them?).

Specific help needed please.

Thanks... Bob
