MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2006Integrating a .pst backed up calendar into a new copy of Outlook
I've recently had to rebuild my PC and reload everything from scratch. Forunately I was able to back everything up including my Outlook files. I have managed to retrieve and reload all backed up emails, notes etc and I can see the backed up calendarin the calendar section as a second calendar. Ideally, I want all appointments from the backed up calendar to appear in the new, standard calendar. So far, I've not managed to work out how to do this. Can anyone help before multi-calendars cause me mass confusion?! Any help really appreciated. Thanks. Ang. Just copy or move them from one folder to another. The By Category view will give you a list that's easy to select.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks. > Ang. Thanks Sue - I'm not sure if I've moved them correctly - I did 'File', 'Folder' 'move calendar'. I still have 2 calendar's appearing, the original one now being out of the personal folder. I still have to switch between calendar's but the current (new) calendar is the default. Is it possible to have just the one calendar - the original one? Any more help much appreciated! Thanks. > Just copy or move them from one folder to another.

However, it only brings up the holiday's - I guess, I've never assigned categories to the appointments. Am I doing something wrong? Also, I've replied to Brian but I'm now stuck on how to copy items to paste them in the new calendar. Thanks for all your help so far. > I said move the *items*, not move the folder.

I played around with the Views and brought the options up in the nav pane. When I clicked on the By Category option, all appointments appeared. I was probably doing the By Category view in the new calendar which is why there were only holidays! As I said, too many calendars cause me mass confusion. Thanks to you both for your help. > I said move the *items*, not move the folder.

You have to open the old calendar, select all the items in it, and copy them to the new calendar. You cannot move the folder itself. This is true for all the default folders: Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Tasks, etc. Including an old set of folders into a new Outlook installation is easy. Start Outlook, click FIle>Open>Outlook Data File, browse to the old PST, select it, and click OK. All the data is now available. You can even make it your default again with just a few clicks. SignatureBrian Tillman -- Brian Tillman Thanks Brian - I feel really thick on this one - I can't for the life of me work out how to copy multiple calendar items in order to paste them into the new calendar. I've tried all the tricks I know - right-click etc and even the help files. Can you help?
