Excellent to be able to migrate successfully. I don't know about Outlook
2003, but in Outlook 2000 and before there is an import-export command from
the file menu. I've always use export as a .PST file, all folders and
subfolders with complete success. I usually have to remember to empty the
deleted stuff first because it will save and move all that as well. To
restore just use Import and find and use the .PST file you saved on your
floppy or CD. There is or was a "save my settings" add on from MS to save
rules and such, but I could never make that work. So I just re-implement
rules upon reinstallation, a pain, but not really a big whoop.

Good Luck,

Forgive me, but I am on a high. I have a Windows 95 machine on which I had a
ton of historical information and was able to, without a hitch, save
Schedule + 7.0 data onto a floppy and import it into an XP computer's
Outlook 2003 (knock on wood).

But (and there always is a but, isn't there?) I am looking at the choices
under the File menu in Outlook and I don't see an option where I can
save/backup all data in Outlook. In Schedule +, a single command backed up
everything in the program. Is there such an option in Outlook, or do I have
to separately save data for contacts, calendar, etc.?

And, as long as I am asking, I am also going to be using Microsoft's
Business Contact Manager that ties to Outlook. As relates to the previous
question, if I can save all data from Outlook with a single command, will
the contact manager data also backup, or is that going to require an
additional action, too?

Besides what is available from Microsoft, are there any sites that do a good
job of explaining Outlook?

Thanks for your help.
