Since I do not have a cable hook up from the PC with OL 2003 to the PC with OL 2007 - can the created .pst file be placed on a CD then moved to the new PC ??

Yes, or put it on a usb flash drive if it is small enough (or the flash drive is big enough. Then copy the file to a good place on the local hard drive before importing it. I don't know if that last bit is necessary, but that's the way I do it just in case it is. ;-) Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

| tranfering 2003 outlook contacts to outlook 2007
Sorry to ask the same question again but I have the same problem. A year ago, I had to replace a noisey HD and followed the proceedure above and it worked (outlook 2003 to outlook 2003). I just bought a new system and installed Office 2007. To make things easier, I exported the backup.pst file to c:\backup.pst. I then copied it to a flash drive and then copied it onto the new system at c:\backup.pst. When I try to import the .pst file I get a message that I do not have permission. "File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file c:\backup.pst" ????? |

Never import a native Outlook data file. Use File->Open->Outlook Data file. Ensure that the file you copied is intact. If it does not open, make a copy and then run scanpst.exe against the file. If it reports errors, continue to run scanpst until it reports no more errors. If it reports that it has found errors that it cannot repair, your .pst file is corrupt, possibly from how you exported/copied the file. If you still have access to the original .pst file, simply copy the file, paste in My Documents (to ensure it has a better chance of backup than elsewhere) and then open it in Outlook using File->Open->outlook data file. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
