You copy, then you may have to configure Contacts to use as an address
book

Good Answer! Successful opening the .pst file in OL 2007!
Now how do I get my contacts and calendar into OL 2007 from OL 2000?

You have to copy from Cd to HD, then remove the read only attribute in
file properties.
By default a file on a cd is read only

How do I transfer my Outlook 2000 contacts, calendar, e-mails, etc
from my old computer to my new computer running Outlook 2007.
I have 2 Personal Folders on Outlook 2000 - I exported/backed up the
2000 .PST files, but when I tried to restore them in Outlook 2007
itye only imported 1 of the 2 Personal Folders and NO contacts or
calendar data.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Sue



As posted here MANY times - do NOT use the import/export function to
move data from one instance of Outlook to another.

The howto/backupandrestore link has been very useful. Thank you.
A couple of issues:
1. I copied the .pst file to a CD - I am unable to uncheck the 'read
only' box. I get error messages and even if I check 'ignore' or
'ignore all' the file remains a read only file.
2. When I try to test the back-up file I receive the error message,
"Properties for this information service must be deined prior to use".
When I click OK I receive another error message, "File Access denied.
You do not have the permission required to access the file OUTLOOK.pst.

I am signed on as the Administrator on XP.

Any insights or suggestions how I might test the back up file?
