Importing Archive Folders into Outlook 07

[bartupright]

Just got a new laptop, and I've already imported all of my "live"
folders into my new Outlook 07 program from my old computer. However,
now I'm trying to import the Archived folders over and I can't figure
out how to do that without replacing the "live" folders. I tried
creating a new folder (Archive, Historical) in my 07 Personal Folders,
but they wouldn't show up as a possible destination folder. Don't
know if I'm making sense, but could use some help.

You don't import. At ALL. Not even your "live" folders. Do File-Open-Outlook
data File. I won't be surprised to see you return with problems after
importing....
for future reference, here's how to move data from one Outlook to another:
