Can't synchronize outlook 2007 at work with Outlook 2007 at home

I have Outlook 2007 installed both at my work location (large corporation)
and at home. I had my home motherboard crash and had to rebuild my system to
include reinstalling Outlook. I am running Vista 64 bit at home. The
Outlook menu at home lacks the import/export buttons under "File" that I
became used to under the old version of Outlook. Thought that was a function
change of the GUI in 2007 until I noted those commands are still an option
under Outlook 2007 on my work system. Are those commands removed if Outlook
is installed under 64bit Vista? Can't imagine why but stranger things I have
seen. Regardless, how do I synchronize my work calendar/contacts/etc with my
home one? I emailed myself the PST files but have no command to execute the
import.

Import and export are never needed when transferring Outlook data between
Outlook instances. Save your mailed PST to some folder on your hard drive
(taking care not to overwrite any existing PST) and open in in Outlook with
File>Open>Outlook Data File.
