Default New computer doesn't "see" calendar or contacts

I have 2 computers and am trying to set up Outlook 2003 on the new one to
parallel the setup on the old one. I copied the 3 old .pst files to the new
machine and all seems OK as far as mail goes, but my Outlook calendar and
contacts don't show up. Is there some setting I need to change in order for
Outlook on the new computer to know where to look? Thanks.

The calendar and contacts are all in the same pst file as your messages
so it has to be there. Where does it not "show up"? Have you tried
looking at "Folder List"?

Thanks Tim, but I'm just not getting it. When I click on "Contacts" or
"Calendar" at the lower left of the screen, all I get is one entry (a dummy
entry I put in when I first started Outlook on this computer). I wrote over
that file with my old one that has hundreds of entries...but they don't show
up anywhere that I can tell. Sorry to be so dense.

STOP THE PRESSES. I found it. Thanks again.

Maybe it's time to back up a bit. Did you simply copy your 3 pst files
to your new PC or did you also perform some type of "export" or "import"
with your contacts/calendar? What exactly did you do when you "wrote
over that file"?

Tim
