misplaced .PST and .PAB files

[RossJ]

hi all:

we are running XP and Outlook 2002...

I opened my Outlook and my emails and address book is gone.

I have located my personal file and address book and these
files are not where they are suppose to be located. For
instance, my PST file is in "My Documents".

Can anybody tell me the path that I need to re-place these
files (if it is as simple as that... i.e.- C:\Documents
and Settings\Administrator....)

Thanks in advance for any assistance !!

Sincerely,

RossJ

Just leave the file where it is, then use File->Open->Personal Folders file
and navigate to the location of your .pst file. There is no right or wrong
place for it to be - I, for example, keep mine on a second hard drive.

In addition to what Milly said, don't worry about .PAB files. Outlook 2002
doesn't use them.
