That would probably corrupt the outlook Profile
I dont believe you mentioned the version of Outlook on your old & new PC's,
which may have a baring.

Thank to you both for the links, have read through and now a
question, would it be OK to simply rename the pst file on the new
machine and then copy the old one [the one we want] into the
same location as the new file , then open Outlook and choose file
Open Data File

I need to transfer Outlook data from 4 XP Pro machines running in
a Peer to Peer LAN [not a server based domain and Exchange] to new
machines running Vistas Business , after reading several articles
online and testing with unreliable results I am really confused with
it all.
It's a cinch to export/import emails and address book data with
Outlook Express but Outlook is of course a different animal, so I
would appreciate a helping hand from someone knowledgeable.
Is there a way as simple as the Outlook Express method ?.
