Have you tried just copying the *.pst files to the new Office Installations proper working directory (just overlay the new file created with the old one) and opening Exchange? That would be the simplest solution but there are others depending on your setup. Keep in mind that Exchange files can only be opened by exchange when it is running not through Windows explorer.
Yeah, That's what I've been trying to do, but it won't let me. Keeps telling me the Admin needs to do it. I'm the Admin. Go figger. I can't do anything with the XP *.pst file. I tried to back it up with ghost and then restore it to the Win 7 position, but still no go. Win 7 just has it locked down tight. I've tried to take ownership and still no go. I'll get it figured out some day, but right now, I just don't know. I'm the only account on the machine so I'm the admin, but I thought I might create an "admin" account and try that. I may have to reinstall everything from scratch and try again. something has a glitch in it somewhere. I figure it's Win 7 and not Office.
I use my machine to trade stocks and options, so I can't really get down and dirty till the weekends. I've been wanting to upgrade, but I have 4 screens and until recently, couldn't get but 2 to work. Bought a new video card and now have 4 screens on Win 7. Now I just need to get my email up and it's complete. I'll get it eventually, but it ain't vanilla. My final goal is to have Outlook save my email on a separate drive to save it from a c:\ crash or virus. I save my vitals on separate partitions or drives to just keep the program files on C:. I can always restore from my DVD's if the important stuff isn't lost. I haven't had Office long enough yet to figure out how to get it to save somewhere other than C:. I migrated from Office XP to Enterprise 2007 with no problem on my XP drive. Now that I want to migrate to Win 7,... all kinds of trouble.
