Export works - Import will not work?

[John Leonard - Sage]

Using Office 2003 - When I export from Outlook 2003 it work and creates the
PST file. When I try to import, browsing for file, I cannot find the PST
file to import?

It is there when I use Windows Explorer? Is there a setting missing or what?

Thanks

Always choose your save locations carefully ;-)

By default Outlook export to the following folder;
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

Make sure you include hidden and system files and folders when searching for
pst-file.

Thanks, I have set the folder option, so I can see hidden files. I can see
it with Windows Explorer. I cannot see it when I import and browse for the
file - in the folder I created for it.

Are you sure you're in the right folder? There is a
\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
and
\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

I have made a special folder for my export. It goes there, when I browse to
that folder from Outlook import - it does not show?

By the way - this is a new installed upgrade to Office 2003.
