You corrupted your Outlook profile by transferring your data incorrectly. That's why we post here every day how to transfer it correctly. Read one of those posts, create a new Outlook profile, and transfer your data to it correctly. I'll repost the links that tell you how to do this correctly: 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] > which has Ooulook 2007. everything looks great except i now have two > Personal Folders. am i suppose to delete the original Personal Folder of > just name the new Personal Folder the default folder? how did i corrupt the files? i followed the directions from your second link. under the heading Restore pst-files it states "Now open Outlook and connect to the file by choosing File-> Open-> Outlook Data File." i did that and it opened a second Personal Folders. > You corrupted your Outlook profile by transferring your data incorrectly. > That's why we post here every day how to transfer it correctly.

You can have multiple personal folders open.

Change your view to a table view so it is easier to move them.

[quoted text clipped - 75 lines] >> >> >> >> >> > of >> >> >> >> >> > just name the new Personal Folder the default folder? I never said you corrupted the files. I said you corrupted the profile because I assumed you were unable to close the second set of folders. If you can close them, then by all means just do so and be done with it. You need to post clearly when you post in newsgroups. You have yet to do so. We still have no idea what you did and what your actual problem is.

Currently i have two Personal Folders open. the origianl default Personal Folder and the Personal Folder i opened which has the data from my old computer. when i click on the Calendar tab there are two Calendars, one titled Calendar (which has no data) and one titled Calendar in Personal Folders (which has all my calendar info from my old computer) same scenerio with Contacts. i would rather have 1 Personal Folder with all my soon to be new entries combined with all my old data. should i make the new Personal Folder file the default folder and close the orignal Personal Folder or should i drag over my old data from the second Personal Folder to the orignal Personal Folder and then close it out the second Personal Folder? > I never said you corrupted the files.
