Good! You should never import native Outlook data. Why? (Courtesy of Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]) Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create 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. As to your problem, first make sure that the file has any read-Only attribute removed, then in Outlook do File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate to where you copied it to. If you still get "Access denied" then I would presume it's a Vista permissions problem, which unfortunately I know nothing about! FWIW, when upgrading, we generally recommend making a pst using the newer version and importing or opening the old pst and dragging the folders to the new one. The newer version of outlook adds additional properties to the outlook items and we suspect this is why Microsoft always recommends importing. If you are sticking with the same version, then opening the old pst is recommended. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ansi-to-unicode.asp#manual (use the same method even if the old pst is Unicode)  SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM >>> >i bought a new pc that has ist and outlook 2007 i am not able >>> >transfer my [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > I would presume it's a Vista permissions problem, which unfortunately I > know nothing about! |
