Urgent: Outlook '07 Back-Up Problem
In preparation to install W7, I started backing up all of my data to an external HD. I followed the instructions linked from here on how to back up Outlook '07 from Vista HP but now all of my data from it is gone. Outlook is still there, but no data.
In Documents, there are Archive, Backup & Outlook icons but when opened say, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Assoc. control panel" which I haven't done. The same is true for the copy I made to the external HD. What happened and more importantly, how do I retrieve this critical missing data? I didn't delete anything or even move it. Thanks! Vista Home Premium, 32bt, Outlook '07 |

Urgent: Outlook '07 Back-Up Problem
You failed to include any link to 'instructions'
You have to open an outlook data file from within OL and not via explorer "saidas108" saidas108[at]yahoo[dot]com wrote in message ...

I followed the instructions linked from here on how to back up Outlook '07 from Vista HP but now all of my data from it is gone. Outlook is still there, but no data. Sorry, but there are no instructions "linked from here". Please be explicit in describing exactly what you did. In Documents, there are Archive, Backup & Outlook icons but when opened say, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Assoc. control panel" which I haven't done. The same is true for the copy I made to the external HD. You cannot open any PST from Windows by double-clicking on it. You open them from within Outlook with FileOpenOutlook Data File. What happened and more importantly, how do I retrieve this critical missing data? I didn't delete anything or even move it. Only you know what happened becuse only you did whatever it was. Until you share it with us, we can't begin to tell you how to fix it. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
