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.

I believe that what you want to do will be easy once you have the right combo. I have done it quite a few times with differing versions of Windows and Outlook. Try going to the knowledge base at Microsoft and searching for an answer (here is the outlook KB link http://support.microsoft.com/ph/928 ).
