MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2004Yet another importing contacts question...
Sorry to ask another question about import/export but I need help. I backed up my Outlook contacts and calendar on a floppy in .pst files. My computer crashed so I have a new one now. I would like to load my calendar and contacts into my new Outlook. I see from previous posts that I didn't do it the ideal way but is there any way to retrieve them from the .pst files I have? Thanks so much for your help! Julie Put the PST file on your hard drive. Remove its read only attribute. Then use the File > Open command in Outlook to open it. Copy what you want from it into your current PST file. If you'd rather, you can also reset Outlook to use your old PST as its default instead of its current PST file. Method depends on your Outlook version which you need to include when you post.

The Read-only box wasn't checked. How do I get it from the floppy to the hard drive? Sorry - I'm sure this is elementary stuff.

Once it is there, R click the File and look at its Properties. Make sure the Read only box is cleared. If you created the file correctly, you will be able to open it in Outlook using the File > Open....command. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I'm a beginner so bear with me please.
