Replacing or Over writing Outlook PST Files
I'm having a really tough time w/ Duplicates I've just re-organized all my Outlook Files/Entries but I'm still a bit confused as to replacing my existing Outlook pst file with the new organized one. When I export an Outlook file over an existing one, am I just adding- on to what is already there or am I actually replacing everything? When I import the new pst file into the Outlook on My Laptop should I clear ALL data files so as to not create Duplicates or is there an easier way? Thanks |

Replacing or Over writing Outlook PST Files
Import adds to it and creates duplicates. Why are you importing/exporting?
You should move the pst and open it in the other profile not use Import and export. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Do you keep Outlook open 24/7?

Replacing or Over writing Outlook PST Files
Exporting, importing and overwriting are never used with PST files. You
never move or rename any PST file that is still connected to an Outlook profile. If you want to transfer a PST file to another profile, you open in in that profile. If you want to replace the existing PST file, then set the new one as the default, restart Outlook, and close the older PST file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Paul Brown" wrote in message ...
