Outlook 2002 XP to Outlook 2003 Vista?

[Ray19]

I have discoverd that YES Outlook 2002 won't run on Vista - at least
correctly. So, I have obtained Outlook 2003 (Office 2003) which reportedly
does run correctly on Vista.

My original computer running XP and Outlook 2002 failed. I have obtained a
new computer running Vista. I have mounted my old hard drive externally to my
new computer and have the ability to copy my old Outlook 2002 files from it
using my new computer.

How can I transfer (copy) my old Outlook 2002 data from the external hard
drive to Outlook 2003 running on Vista and retain the original Outlook 2002
information?
Thanks, in advance, for any help provided.

Thanks Brian for the link. It appears everything I need is there. I won't
have my Office 2003 unitl next week. I'll add to this post with either my
success or any problems I encounter. Stay tuned.
By the way, you were right, Outlook 2002 doesn't work with Vista. E-mail
account passwords are deleted whenever Outlook 2002 is closed and Vista
doesn't accomodate the .PAB folder. So, I was forced to Outlook 2003 if I
wanted to use Outlook. Thanks again for your help.
Best wishes for continued success in all your efforts.
