How can I transfer my calendar data from laptop to laptop using a.

[Guest]

I have spent hours trying to transfer my calendar from an old laptop to my
new laptop using a Cruzer Mini USB flash drive. I am having difficulty. I am
trying to save the file as a .pst file and it seems to take forever and then
once I think I have the file on the USB dohicky, I can't seem to pull it up
in the new calendar. My old lapop uses microsoft 2000 - my new laptop has
windoes XP.

Please help & happy holdiays!

Don't export - just copy the .pst file from the old to the new computer.
Copy it to the hard drive and ensure that the read-only property is turned
off. Then in Outlook use File->Open to open the file. Drag and drop your
calendar items from the old to the new (display your old calendar by
category view, select all, right click and drag - copy or move as you wish.)
