I will have to leave it until I am in the office again to try and export the file correctly. Thanks for the step-by-step Wainuitech, I am sure I will get it right soon. |

| 603186 | 2007-10-20 02:48:00 | Another way to get the pst file is to click start/search Select "All Files and Folders" - then under "More Advanced" tick "search Hidden files and Folders" then in the "All or part of the file name" type in *.pst - Hit Enter When it locates the file, right click it, select " Open Containing Folder" then simply copy/paste to the folder you created before. It can then be put on a pen drive, CD, or what ever to transport to the Lappy When importing that pst it pays to use the import function in Outlook. |
