Default How do I export calendar items

I am trying to copy/paste/or otherwise transfer the entire calendar
with events onto a notebook computer. How do I go about doing this?

If you are not using Exchange Server, close Outlook, make a copy of the pst
file and transfer that to the notebook. Do NOT overwrite any existing pst
file. Then in Outlook on the notebook, do File-Open-Outlook Data File,
navigate to where you put the copied file and either copy or drag and drop
the data to your existing file. Do NOT USE THE IMPORT/EXPORT FUNCTION.

Just curious...Why not import the .pst? I have created .pst from the
export function and have opened them without a problem, what will the
importing it do? Will it overwrite all other data already present?
Just interested (Not that I am going to do it).
Thanks,
Chris

The consensus of opinion among most experienced users is that the
transfer of Outlook data between instances of Outlook via the
import/export function is very much prone to data loss and/or corruption
- you must have been quite lucky not to experience that. The copying of
the pst file and the use of the Open-Outlook Data File function is
(almost!) 100% foolproof.....
The import/export function is really designed to allow the transfer of
Outlook data to and from non-Outlook applications, such as Access,
Excel, etc.

I'm changing jobs and will be contents of my outlook with me. My
outlook (2003) is 1.8 GB in size. Should I create a totally new .pst?
I've exported each email folder to it's own .pst and can open them
without a problem. I have 15 or so .pst files, but they are all on a
CD.

Should I have not exported the .pst and simply created a new .pst for
the entire outlook? How would I do that to ensure the the
current .pst is not altered?

Thanks,
Chris

All you needed to do was to make a copy of the existing pst file onto a CD.

here's some reasons why exporting/importing a pst file is not a good idea:
Importing an entire PST may corrupt your profile and by creating a ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.

If that mail was generated while you worked for a company, it could be that
the data doesn't belong to you but the the company for which you worked.
Check with an attorney before you take that data or clear it with the old
employer. You could be opening yourself up to being accused of stealing
private property.
