If they're on an external drive, then you must have put them there, because
Outlook won't unless you tell it to do so. Ask yourself where you created
them or ask Outlook: File>Data File management.

The external drive is acually my old XP hard drive in an aluminum external
enclosure- USB- so it would be where XP nornally files them. From what I
inderstand once I find them, all I have to do is open- Outlook Dat File in
outlook 2007
Thanks,
Steven

letter to the external drive letter and use the username you used with the
old installation.

Ah. OK. While they could be anywhere on that drive, the default location
is
x:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook, which is a hidden folder.
