MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / June 2007How do I export calendar items
I am trying to copy/paste/or otherwise transfer the entire calendar with events onto a notebook computer. How do I go about doing this? >I am trying to copy/paste/or otherwise transfer the entire calendar > with events onto a notebook computer. How do I go about doing this? If you are not using Exchange Server, close Outlook, make a copy of the pst file and transfer that to the notebook. Do NOT overwrite any existing pst file. Then in Outlook on the notebook, do File-Open-Outlook Data File, navigate to where you put the copied file and either copy or drag and drop the data to your existing file. Do NOT USE THE IMPORT/EXPORT FUNCTION. HTH > <rckusz...@qwest.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > HTH Just curious...Why not import the .pst? I have created .pst from the export function and have opened them without a problem, what will the importing it do? Will it overwrite all other data already present? Just interested (Not that I am going to do it). Thanks, Chris >> <rckusz...@qwest.net> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Thanks, > Chris The consensus of opinion among most experienced users is that the transfer of Outlook data between instances of Outlook via the import/export function is very much prone to data loss and/or corruption - you must have been quite lucky not to experience that. The copying of the pst file and the use of the Open-Outlook Data File function is (almost!) 100% foolproof..... The import/export function is really designed to allow the transfer of Outlook data to and from non-Outlook applications, such as Access, Excel, etc. > >> <rckusz...@qwest.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I'm changing jobs and will be contents of my outlook with me. My outlook (2003) is 1.8 GB in size. Should I create a totally new .pst? I've exported each email folder to it's own .pst and can open them without a problem. I have 15 or so .pst files, but they are all on a CD. Should I have not exported the .pst and simply created a new .pst for the entire outlook? How would I do that to ensure the the current .pst is not altered? Thanks, Chris >> >> <rckusz...@qwest.net> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > Thanks, > Chris All you needed to do was to make a copy of the existing pst file onto a CD. here's some reasons why exporting/importing a pst file is not a good idea: Importing an entire PST may corrupt your profile and by creating a ghost PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose: 1. Custom Forms 2. Custom Views 3. Connections between contacts and activities 4. Received dates on mail 5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar 6. Journal connections 7. Distribution Lists Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise people to import a native file into Outlook. > >> >> <rckusz...@qwest.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] > > - Show quoted text - This is very helpful. Thanks! Last question...Where is the default .pst usually located? Thanks, Chris >> >> >> <rckusz...@qwest.net> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 81 lines] > Thanks, > Chris In the Folder View in Outlook, right-click on Personal Folders, choose Properties, and on the General Tab, click on Advanced.

If that mail was generated while you worked for a company, it could be that the data doesn't belong to you but the the company for which you worked. Check with an attorney before you take that data or clear it with the old employer. You could be opening yourself up to being accused of stealing private property.

I have an email from my current boss telling the IT people that I can copy and take with me all of my archived emails. Thanks for pointing that out. Chris
