Copying existing Calendar file to new .pst

[Guest]

I had to create a new pst file in Outlook 2003 but when I did it created a
whole new calendar. How do I get my old calendar set as the default for all
calendar items. Right now all I could do was copy my previous calendar to
the new .pst file but it is not the default.

Defaults don't go by folder. You make either one PST (and all its folders)
the default or you make the other PST (and all its folders) the default.

Open your old calendar, switch to a table view like By Category, select all
the items with CTRL-A, then click Edit>Copy to Folder and specify your new
default calendar as the destination. You must copy the _contents_ of the
default folders. You cannot copy the folder itself.

Superb! Thank you Brian.
