Moving a local Archive

[Marc W]

Hello,

Since my post space was limited I had to move old mails from a netwerk
drive to a local drive. Hence I got a:

C:\Documents and Settings\Marc\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
\Archive.pst

But, now I have got a new computer, and I want to move the post
archive from the old one to the new computer. I tried putting the pst
file in exactly the same place on the new harddrive, but my old
Archive is not visible yet.

What can I do??

You need to tell Outlook it's there! In outlook go to File-Open-Outlook Data
File and navigate to that folder.

You have to tell Outlook where to find it. File>Archive
