After furious head scratching, Mark Romney asked:

| my wife's pc crashed over the weekend (fortunately I backed it up two
| weeks ago) I had to buy a new pc for her and was able to salvage the
| hard drive from the old one and have set it up as a USB external
| drive. How can access her outlook files so that I can import the
| recent sent files and the missing contacts that were added within the
| last two weeks. I know how to create a pst file within outlook, but
| do not know how to export it from an external source.

| Thanks for any advise you can offer
