New dilemma

[Tony Linguini]

I have joined the ranks of economy downsizing. I have Vista Ultimate 64
Outlook 2007 computers at home and work. I want to combine Outlook data from
the work computer, with the home computer, without losing any emails,
contacts, or appointments. The desired result being using the only the home
computer for both home and work. Suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

How is this a new dilemma and how does your Subject tell us what your post
is about?
Your question is answered here daily, but you haven't provided enough
information for an answer for you. What information store is being used at
work? Are you using Exchange Server?

Make sure you have legal permission to take the data from your work. That
data belongs to your former employer, not to you.

Thank you for the reply, the NGs were slow so I also posted in general. I am
a one man operation at work, no exchange server. I just want to end up with
all calendar and contact items merged together on the home computer without
losing anything.

Then with Outlook closed, transfer the PST you have on the work computer to
the home PC. Put it in a folder that does not currently contain a PST. Open
Outlook and click File>Open>Outlook Data File. Browse to the PST, select it,
and click OK. It will open in Outlook and you'll have complete access to
evcerything it contains. You can then move things around if you wish, copying
the contents of the added folders to their corresponding default folders or
you can just leave it where it is and use it that way.
