Outlook 2002: New computer, transferring data

D

I had to replace my computer; I had been running Outlook 2002 on Win XP, my
new machine has Vista Home Premium x64. I installed Outlook 2002 on the new
machine, and I've also copied my PST file onto the new machine (though it had
to go in a different location, directory-wise, than it occupied on the old
machine, if that makes a difference). How do I import my old data into the
new installation of Outlook? Thanks.

Don't import -- just go to the File menu, click Open, then Outlook Data File,
and point it to the file you moved to the new computer.

Outlook 2002 is not compatible with Vista and is likely to run incorrectly,
if at all.
