I am running Outlook 2002. I’ve lost my Calendar, but I’m convinced it’s
somewhere on my computer. Yesterday when I powered up and tried to run
Outlook, I got a dialog box saying: “The location messages are delivered to
has changed for this user profile. To complete this operation, you may need
to copy the contents of the old Outlook folders to the new Outlook folders.
For info about how to complete the change of your mail delivery location, see
MS Help. Some of the shortcuts on the Outlook Bar may no longer work. Do
you want Outlook to recreate your shortcuts? All shortcuts you have created
will be removed.” Of course I didn’t have a clue as to what this meant; upon
consideration, I thought it was saying that my shortcuts would be recreated
if I clicked “yes”. So I clicked Yes. I was wrong, and all my shortcuts
(about 35) were gone, including some Contacts folders, all mail folders, etc.
Anyway, no problem, I just spent some time re creating the shortcuts, and
everything was there, except for my calendar. I have 2 Personal Folders
(don’t ask why, I don’t know how the extra one got there). I tried the
Calendar on both but neither of them has my appointments that were previously
there. I went into backup and it seems my backup is not picking up my
Calendar. Do you have a clue as to how I can find my Calendar? Do you know
why I would get such a dialog box, saying the location for my messages has
changed (going to MS Help in Outlook is useless)? And do you know why my
backup doesn’t pickup Calendar if it is picking up Outlook.pst? Thank you
for your help.

Sounds like your profile was corrupted - create a new one and configure it to use your default .pst file.

Will this get my Calendar back? I don't know how to do this.

It should if you re-use your .pst file that has the calendar. Control Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles->New. After you create it, you can point it to your .pst file to re-use it.

I'm afraid. My concern is that if I create a new profile, will all my email
start going there? Will I lose anything in the old profile, or, what changed
will happen to the old profile. Once I create a new profile and point it to
my .pst file (and where can I find that?) and find my calendar, then can I
delete the new profile?

No, please use F1 and read about profiles before you being. You will keep all of your current stuff when you point the profile to use your current .pst file. However, I would certainly recommend locating all .pst files on your computer to see which one is actually the most current one and make it the default.

Sorry, this apparantly is beyond me. I used F1, and entered "profiles"; the
only thing that came up was "create a speech recognition profile". Then I
selected more by going to the web--same thing, only speech recognition.
Where can I read about profiles?
