How can I send my calenders to my new computer?

Hi Russell.
you can use the export function to export your calendar as a pst file and
after exporting, sending this file via email and import or open it on your
other computer in outlook.
 
Hi Russell,

You can export your personal data into PST files and then transfer it
between computers. Select File/Import and Export option in Outlook. You can
specify which folder to be exported. To import the PST in your destination
machine, you may use import option or File/Open/"Outlook Data File" option.
For more information, please refer to:

Hope them helps.

A word of caution belongs here.
This method worked reasonably well in older versions of Outlook. The data
loss it produces only affected advanced users.
All that changed in Outlook 2003. This method now produces a PST file that
is completely and irreversibly incompatible with all earlier versions, and
does so with no warning whatsoever to the user.
Accordingly, I no longer recommend exporting as a reliable way to transfer
or back up Outlook data.

Unless one creates the old-format PST first and then exports to that.
 
Of course.
But none of those steps appears in the KB article, and people continue to
use those steps with Outlook 2003 only to find they have lost all their
data. This was a real oversight in Outlook 2003.
 
Yes, your opinions are right. Outlook 2003 uses a different format of PST
file which cannot be supported by the earlier editions. However, Outlook
2003 can support all formats of PST files.

So¡­somehow it is important to clarify the edition of Outlooks on the
source and destination client before suggesting using the Import/Export
function in Outlook. Though there are some other file formats we can use to
transfer Outlook data, personally I prefer to PST as it can be access by
Outlook directly and secured by password.

Anyway, I have to say sorry for my careless in my last post. Appreciate to
your supplements :-)

There are other reasons not to use Import/Export, however. Importing PST's
will lose:
1. Custom forms
2. Connections between contacts and activities
3. Received dates on mail
4. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
5. Journal connections
6. Distribution Lists

Many users don't miss these, but some do. Simply copying and opening a PST
file will preserve all of these.
 
You can add custom views to that list.

OK, but now we have an uneven number again. You know how uneasy I get when
lists aren't even.
