ok I feel stupid, I should be able to do this and belive I have more than once in the past, but as usual microsoft makes nothing easy.
I am using outloook 2000, hard drive developed bad sectors and it will not boot (but I can view the files - mbr is screwed or something), so I installed a new drive and office 2000 with outlook 2000 again. Thought it would be easy to get my data back into outlook but I cannot figure out how for some reason. I spend a lot of my time retrieving and moving data for small businesses and can't do it for myself!!! The import export stuff only works if you have actually exported you data to some sort of a file. Try to import the *.pst files directly off the old drive and I get nothing but another set of personal folders with nothing in them. I fanyone can help I will really appreciate it. I could use my contacts, calendar and notes too if anyone knows how to get those back!
Thanks,
Catalyst
