Hi:
Where is the Outlook database files located within the XP folders to
copy/transfer to another computer? Had system crash and need to replace. Palm
sync not an option at this time.
I need all the Contacts, Calendar, Inbox files etc. What are file names and
location.

Many Thanx in advance

Depends on where you designated it to be.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
