Outlook Upgrade problem

[gertNo1]

Hi Guys, Happy Holidays!

I just installed MS Office 2007 on my new laptop. I tried to open my old Outlook.pst file but recieved a error msg:

The file C:\....Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst cannot be opened.

Does anyone know how I keep from loosing all my saved emails?

Thanx much

Hi gertno1:

When you say you tried to "open" it, do you mean you are double-clicking on it? Because it won't ever open that way.

In Outlook, if you want to "load" the .pst file, you click on the File menu, select Import/Export and follow the prompts for importing a Personal (.pst) file.

HTH,

Best,

Hi Blue Horizon, thanks so much for responding. I tried Importing and using File;Open. Outlook imports the calendar, contacts some of the smaller folders I created but not the Outbox or the Inbox.

Hi again,

Hmmmm.....Are you sure you copied the Inbox when you
created the .pst file? It isn't a given...


Best,

Excellent question, I'm very sure. But it does sound strange doesn't it?

The kicker is I can import the file successfully in Outlook 2k but not in 2007.
