Just yesterday I exported Outlook 97 data, the entire tree, and imported
it into Office 2007 and it worked perfectly.

This is the perfect scenario for Importing.

No, he's not correct and it will not corrupt the files.

Yep, been that way for years, since outlook first became a main-stream
office email application.

What I though funny was that a customer was still using office 97 on a
computer, actively.... They are in for a rude surprise when they see
Office 2007's completely different menu's and massive waste of space in
the menu's.

Not sure I'd describe it as "funny"... but yes, they will be in for a shock.

Yea, I was being slightly sarcastic.

Do you know that your sig violates Usenet standards of 4-5 lines?

I guess that's why I've done it that way multiple times, for a family
member who actually uses Outlook for God knows what reason, and has
changed computers multiple times, and it didn't "corrupt" anything.
And I guess you enjoy using a product that you claim "corrupts" files
for absolutely no good reason. Two for two on Microsoft Office
lameness.

FWIW, I've used the method described by Alias about 2-3 dozen times
over the past 10 years and recommend it. It makes no sense to me to
Export and Import when easier methods exist.

Note, my recommendation had to do with Outlook 2000 to 2007. Had the
case been that one was moving the same type of .pst file, I would do it
a different way.

How well will the *Win7* [Files and Settings Transfer Wizard] work
from a WinXP with Outlook 2000 to Win7 with Outlook 2007?

OL 2000 to OL2007 pst

Just curious Diane. Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007 when files are saved importing the
OL 2000 saved files to OL 2007 will not corrupt and will work ?

Why ask, why not try it yourself instead of making comments that you've
not tested yourself Pete?

I have to do this all the time, even the export from Exchange, using the
utilities can be imported into O2007.

I just did Outlook 97 to Outlook 2007 yesterday.

If you didn't know this, why did you bother commenting like you were an
authority on it?

I've never seen importing a PST into another PST corrupt either PST. I have
seen ghost folders in the profile or other problems that were fixed with a new
profile, but the PSTs themselves are fine. DLs don't import well and
contact-calendar linkage may need recreating.
