You didn't say. Are we to assume you are using a PST file?
In recent all Outlook versions, rules are stored with the PST file. I've
noticed in beta 2, however, that for the first time they do not migrate with
the PST. You must export/import to an RWZ file.

Outlook 2003

I just downloaded the Beta 2 of Office 2007 Pro. I installed it on a
different partition running a different OS for a different user. My rules
in Outlook 2003 in my regular user disappeared!

Regular user:
Outlook 2003
Windows XP Pro 64 bit OS
Partition1, program installed in Program Files (x86)
Datafile in userprofile on Partition1

Experimental user
Outlook 2007
Windows XP Home Edition
Partition 2, program installed in Program Files (different logical hard
drive)
Datafile in userprofile on Partition 2

Huh?
I suppose it could just be coincidence, but the only thing I did was first
make sure that the Outlook 2003 which had been installed for Experimental
user had a different data file and then install the beta while running as
that user under the different OS.

Where are rules stored? I know I have a backup of most of them but I don't
know how to reinstall from the backup and don't look forward to
reinventing them.

The Office 2007 installation is just to look at, I hadn't planned on
actually letting it have access to any of my email accounts. I don't
really care whether I can import the rules into Outlook 2007 at this
point.

Any ideas?
