Recovering my Outlook Data
Hi,
I experienced a crash and had to reinstall Vista and all my applications. Fortunately I keep all my data on a separate physical drive. How can I restore my Outlook data stored in “D:\Outlook\Outlook.pst” and “D:\Oulook\Archive.pst” ? Can you also indicate how to configure Outlook to permanently point and save all data in the same location? I did this only ounce and I don’t remember how to achieve it again. Thanks, |

Recovering my Outlook Data
Answers are posted here daily.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx Note that some of the information on the Microsoft page is outdated and contains errors, particularly when applied to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically: 1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to connect it to your profile. Doing so will often corrupt your Outlook profile. Copy it anywhere BUT the default location and then open it within your Outlook profile. 2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become too deeply flawed to be of any use. -- Russ Valentine "YBeaupre" wrote in message ...

Open the Mail applet in Control Panel and click Data Files. Add your data files to your mail profile and make the Outlook.pst file the default file. In Outlook, click ToolsOptionOtherAutoArchive and change the archive file to be the Archive.pst file you were using. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
