MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008transferring from outlook 2003 to 2007
I recently bought a laptop and it has Vista with Office 2007. My desktop has XP with 2003. I am fresh meat at this and am having a heck of a time finding how to transfer my outlook info (ie: contacts, inbox folders, and calendar) from the old computer to my laptop. I am stuck! Can someone please help me with this in layman's terms? I would deeply appreciate it. Tried exporting to no avail... Thanks, Neeners I am having the exact same problem....except I am trying to move to Office 2007 in XP. I took the online Outlook course and tried exporting my 3rd personal folder to 2007 Outlook just to see if it worked. Eureka, it worked with the Export Import wizard. I then renamed the file Activities. I figured this would be a snap (WRONG!) I then proceeded to export my business files (another personal folder). When I try to import the file it gives an error message that a personal folder already exists. I truly can't figure out how to get around this problem. It has resulted in my working with 2 computers with Outlook. There has to be a way to solve this. I am exactly in your situation.

And WHERE did it tell you to use the export function to transfer data from one Outlook to another? Never export or import Outlook data. This information is posted here every day. The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I recently bought a laptop and it has Vista with Office 2007.
