MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / September 2007How do I import an old .pst calendar into new .pst format?
I want to import an Outlook 2000 .pst calendar into a new .pst format so it can be opened by Outlook 2007. I am following the instructions on the Office Help page "Convert a non-Unicode data file (.pst) to a Unicode data file (.pst)". When I try to create a new data file I get the message "There was an error locating one of the items needed to complete this operation. It might have been deleted". When I try to import items to the new data file I get the message "The operation failed. An object cannot be found". There is no guidance on the web page as to what to do in these circumstances. Do I need to install additional files from the Office 2007 disc? >I want to import an Outlook 2000 .pst calendar into a new .pst format so it > can be opened by Outlook 2007.

Do I > need to install additional files from the Office 2007 disc? You don't need to convert it. Outlook 2007 will read 97-2002 format pst files. In Outlook 2007 do File-Open-Outlook data file, and navigate to the file's location. Then copy the calendar data from the old file to the new. HTH Looking through the correspondence on other related issues I note Brian Tillman reiterating that you should never import/export. It is easy to copy entries between .pst files without importing/exporting, and I only tried it in the current situation in desperation to get something to unstick. The real issue is that I can't open a 2000 .pst file using Outlook 2007 because it is expecting a .ics or .vcs file. The guidance is to create a "new" .pst file amnd "move" the old entries into it. Any suggestions? > I want to import an Outlook 2000 .pst calendar into a new .pst format so it > can be opened by Outlook 2007.

In no way would it expect any other file type. Might want to tell us what you are doing instead of opening a PST file.

Simply open the .pst file in Outlook, display the calendar by category, select all, right click drag and drop on the 2007 calendar folder, when you release the mouse, select move or copy as you wish. No need EVER to import a native Outlook file. SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Control Panel-Mail-Show Profiles-New (or Add - not sure which) Thank you - I created a new profile, and then found that this had made my existing profile work. I really don't understand, but it is working fine, now. I am now left with four "unused" caledars in Outlook 2007 - can you advise me how to get rid of them, so it is clearer which ones I am using? > > Do you mean a new email profile?

Uncheck them in the Navigation panel...
