How do I import an old .pst calendar into new .pst format?
 

I have just had a look and the Read Only box was not checked. The Archive
box was checked so I un-checked it, but it made no difference. I still get
the message "The operation failed. An object could not be found".

Have you removed the 'read-only" check mark from that .pst's properties?

I have tried all the things suggested in this thread, but to no avail. I am
sure I am missing something, probably something trivial. Can anyone help?

Try creating a new Outlook Profile and see if you can open it in that...

Do you mean a new email profile? I can't find any instructions for creating
a new Outlook profile.

Thank you - I created a new profile, and then found that this had made my
existing profile work. I really don't understand, but it is working fine,
now.
I am now left with four "unused" caledars in Outlook 2007 - can you advise
me how to get rid of them, so it is clearer which ones I am using?

Looking through the correspondence on other related issues I note Brian
Tillman reiterating that you should never import/export. It is easy to copy
entries between .pst files without importing/exporting, and I only tried it
in the current situation in desperation to get something to unstick. The
real issue is that I can't open a 2000 .pst file using Outlook 2007 because
it is expecting a .ics or .vcs file. The guidance is to create a "new" .pst
file amnd "move" the old entries into it. Any suggestions?

I want to import an Outlook 2000 .pst calendar into a new .pst format so it
can be opened by Outlook 2007. I am following the instructions on the Office
Help page "Convert a non-Unicode data file (.pst) to a Unicode data file
(.pst)". When I try to create a new data file I get the message "There was
an error locating one of the items needed to complete this operation. It
might have been deleted". When I try to import items to the new data file I
get the message "The operation failed. An object cannot be found". There is
no guidance on the web page as to what to do in these circumstances. Do I
need to install additional files from the Office 2007 disc?

You're trying to create a new PST with Office ButtonNewOutlook Data File
and receive the "an object could not be found" message, correct? Have you
tried HelpOffice Diagnostics?
