Importing/Exporting old files

[Guest]

I have changed hard drives, but still have my old drive connected as "slave".
There are numerous contact (PAB) and email (PST) files that I want to have
in my new Outlook set up. I am using Win 2K and Outlook 2000. I have tried
importing, but have had no luck. What should I do?

Why import unless you want to lose data? Simply open the .pst file in Outlook - File->Open->Personal Folders File.

If you need your PABs (although Outlook hasn't used them in years), you can
import them. The proscription against importing data files doesn't exist
for PABs. File>Import and Export>Import from aother program or
file>Personal Address Book

Milly you are the BEST!! Thank you. Sorry I took so long to reply, had a
problem with IE that would not let me read any postings, but finally got it
fixed. Your instruction even brought in my old address book data. Thank you
again.

Glad you got it working.
