Microsoft Outlook Files with Vista and XP
I am VERY new at Outlook, and I am working on a Vista desktop but have an XP laptop. Can I somehow use a flash drive to transfer the Outlook data from this desktop to the laptop each day? I just don't want to mess up anything. Thank you in advance! -- laprostitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ laprostitch's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/laprostitch.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-fil...nt/1029643.htm http://forums.techarena.in

I just don't want to mess up anything. Thank you in advance! I've done it many times between two XP systems and with Outlook 2003, even though it's not recommended. I merely transferred the entire contents of the folder containing the Outlook.pst file between the two machines so I could keep each machine current. With Vista to XP, I wouln't know. Plus you are probably using Outlook 2007. Better check with the folks in microsoft.public.outlook.general or outlook.newusers And that's not available on the forum you are using.

Thank you so much! I just didn't want to make any mistakes. I actually have Outlook 2003 installed on both computers. I appreciate your help. -- laprostitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ laprostitch's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/laprostitch.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-fil...nt/1029643.htm http://forums.techarena.in

I just don't want to mess up anything. Thank you in advance! I did it when I got a new Dell with Vista Home Premium and imported the data from my old XP machine.... It was 2007, but there's no reason I can think of that it wouldn't work with 2003..... IIRC, I did it by exporting to PST files... -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services

Niether Import or Export is the advised method to treat native OL data
With OL closed simply copy the pst's Locate them in the Documents Folder Within OL FileOpenData File......browse to the file(s) and open (Import/Export loses rules, amongst other things) "Hank Arnold (MVP)" wrote in message ... laprostitch wrote: I am VERY new at Outlook, and I am working on a Vista desktop but have an XP laptop.
