Default When I import my calendar, I've lost all my recurring properties

I have the appointments, but any that were recurring, have lost that setting.
Is there anyway to get this to carry over to the new computer? Thanks so
much!

Never import - copy your .pst file to a location of your choice (not the
default location - never overwrite a .pst file) and then use
Outlook-File-Open-outlook data file.

Thanks, Milly.

What all is included in the .pst file? I was export/importing
Calendar/Inbox/Tasks/Notes/ Sent/ etc.

All of those are included in the same PST. Making a backup is as simple as
copying the PST while Outlook is closed. Restoring that backup is as simple
as opening the file in Outlook with FileOpenOutlook Data File and copy the
information in it.

I cannot tell all of you how much I apprecaite this help. On Easter Sunday,
none-the-less....

Another angle of this, now if I open the .pst file with the new installation
of Outlook 2003, will this nuke all of the data I have already imported or
will it create duplicates? I have already imported the Calendar, Inbox,
contacts, everything...

I would hate to have everything duplicate and then be totally messed up!!!

Opening a PST does not produce duplicates. It gives you a completely
separate set of folders from which you can then copy to your main default
folders.

If you can, delete the items you added by importing and start over.
