Possibly asked several times a day, but if it's asked in such a way that
you practically have to know the answer, how would anyone else find it?
Since I don't normally use Outlook I had no idea about the file name, or
where to find it. I did notice there are many Outlook folders on a
system that has MS software installed, so if you don't know what's what,
how do you choose?
Anyway the link you gave me (which didn't show up when I first googled
my question) provided enough information that I was able to solve my
problem.
Thanks.

You may also have to 'take ownership' I'll leave you to google for that, or
see WinHelp

When my partner's motherboard gave up the ghost the other day, we got a
new computer and kept the old hard disk in an external enclosure. I am now
ready to move all his email files from this drive to the newly installed
outlook instance. Where do I find the files and where do I move them to on
the new drive?

Thanks in advance.
