Thanks Brian, I changed location of the old pst file and it worked perfectly.
My error was originally copying the file to the new location not pointing to
it.

Several weeks ago my motherboard died. The disk drive was ok and I

Since it essentially is a new computer my old drive is a data drive.
So I reinstalled outlook onto my old drive where it resided before
the new M/B and as well as word etc. So far all I been able to find
is my emails. I know the contacts with email addresses are there
somewhere. How do I retrieve them? I had a suggestion from a user
group that did not work.

All Outlook data (i.e., mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, journal) is
kept in the same file. If you opened the old PST properly and set it up as
your delivery location you'll haev access to everything you has before.
State exactly how you configured Outlook and we may be able to tell you
what's wrong. Make sure you include your version of Outlook because there
are differences between each version.
