how to move outlook data to new computer?

[theotherdave]

Got a new computer. Want to move my Outlook Calendar, Notes, Contacts and any
archives. I'm starting with the Calandar and can't find a way to save the old
data to a CD. Suggestions?

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

I search and find multiple .pst files. One is 75MB with todays date. Is that
the one?
