Locating Outlook 2007 data file
Depends on what OS and Outlook version you were using on the old hard drive.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "CarolineT" wrote in message ...

\AppData is normally hidden
To show it, you'll have to change it in Windows Explorer: Organize - Folder & Search Options - View (.)

Then it will get backed up when you back up your documents. You do back up, don't you! Happiness is a recent back up! |
