It seems like the Notes folder you are trying toput them into is NOT a Notes

Can you check the icon beside the folder (using Folder List) is it a Notes
folder?

Thanks VERY much for the reply, Judy.

It absolutely is a Notes folder. The structure in the folder list
for the two .pst files is identical. In fact, I can create a new
notes folder in the same file named Notes1 (indicating that it
will contain notes) and try to copy all the notes from Notes to
Notes1, and I get the same thing.

When I dragged the Notes folder onto the top-level "Personal
Folders File," it created a new Notes1 child folder containing
all my notes. My only problem is that I want the name of the
folder to be Notes, not Notes1. The way it is now I am forced to
have both Notes and Notes1, even if I never use the Notes folder.

Were both Notes folders created in the same version of Outlook?

Yes--and see above.

Have you tried making a new Notes folder again and seeing if it will accept
the Notes?

See above.

Lastly but not least - what version of Outlook?

I'm embarrassed that I didn't mention that in my initial post.
It's Outlook 2003, running on a 64-bit Vista Ultimate PC.

Thanks again.
