Outlook is not letting me close the personal folder it created. When I open
my real file, only the archive file is opened, but not the personal folder.
Any thoughts or ideas?

In Outlook: File Open Outlook Data File...
Since you already created an Outlook profile, it created a new, blank PST
file--which of course you don't need and never did. But Microsoft thought
you did and thoughtfully made it your new default PST file. So once you open
the PST file you wanted to use all along, just set it as your default,
restart Outlook, and close the empty PST file Microsoft thought you needed.

I'm trying to move my Outlook 2003 data file (Outlook.PST) to my new
computer
using Outlook 2007 with Windows 7. However, when I try to open the data
file
and point to it in the right location, it seems to keep opening up a new
file
that I had already created sort of by accident when I was setting up the
computer. My question is, I want to open up my old data file on my new
computer, but I don't know how.
