Outlook 98 to Outlook 2003

[Sid T]

I have an old machine with Windows 95 and Outlook 98.
Finally upgraded to a machine with XP and Office 2003.
Is there a way I can recover my old Outlook 98 files with
the Windows 95 operating system and transfer/export to XP
and Office 2003? Unfortunately, my 95 system does not
have a CD Burner.
Help!

CAn you network them and copy the .pst file over that way? Then use
File->Open->Outlook Data File to access your old data.

If You don't have a network, and you can't burn a cd, you
can try to remove the old Harddisk from the 95's machine,
and connect it into the new XP machine. So you can copy
your *.pst file(you have to create this file with the old
outlook98).

Bye.

I have a router/switch and will network the two
computers. I thought that might be the only/easiest way.
Thanks for the help.
