As posted daily; with OL closed you copy the data files.
Locate them on the other HD (Documents folder, do not ovewrite any existing data file) Within OL2007 FileOpenData File.....browse to these & open You would then copy data from old to the new unicode 2007 data file "Sue Montague" wrote in message ...

Sorry to be dim.....but what do I copy where? As DL said. However, keep in mind you can't copy the default folders themselves. You must open those folders (i.e., Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Tasks, Notes), select the contents with CTRL-A, then click EditCopy to Folder, specifying the corresponding folder in the new folder set. For the calendar, switch to a table view like By Category in order for CTRL-A to work. And how do I configure Contacts to use as an address book? It should be configured correctly by default. If, after moving the contacts to your default Contacts folder, if they don't show up in the address book, see this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563/en-us -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
