Hello, a few days ago my hard drive took a dive and had to be replaced. I
had Outlook 2003 on the system and had backups. After reinstalling I opened
the backup and everything was there except my contacts (several hundred) and
my calender. I have tried several times but can't get them back. Can anyone
help?

Thanks, Mike

What method did you use to open the .PST file? It will only open properly
though Outlook itself, using the File | Open | Outlook Data File command.

No help here, but sympathy! Geeeeez.. Scary problem. My
business depends on an extensive list of contacts, too. I
use Outlook 2003 also, so I'll be watching for your
solution! Thanks for posting your experience.
