You seem to have transferred your data incorrectly. State what you did,
precisely.

 

[Rob]

in Outlook 2003 powered by XP i opened outlook. clicked on File, Backup.
the Outlook Personal Folders Backup screen opened up and i clicked Save
Backup. then i burned it to a cd.

i inserted the cd into the new computer and copied it to
C:/Users/Rob/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook usind Windows Explorer.

then in Outlook 2007 i retrieved the copied info by going to File, Open,
Outlook Data File.

thanks for taking the time to help me.

Do you have your original PST file? You should have simply copied that file
to any location but the default, opened it in Outlook and set it as your new
default. I would not rely on the backup utility to create a file you want to
migrate to a new installation. And you should never copy an Outlook data
file to the default location.

apparently i did not copy the correct file. what do you meen by "properties
of your root folder in Outlook"?

i right clicked on Personal Folders under Mail and found an address under
home page, but i'm guessing that is incorrect. the file i copied was a .dll
file

Copy it anywhere you want _except_ the default location.

apparently i did not copy the correct file. what do you meen by
"properties
of your root folder in Outlook"?

i right clicked on Personal Folders under Mail and found an address
under
home page, but i'm guessing that is incorrect. the file i copied
was a
.dll
file





:

Copy it anywhere you want _except_ the default location.
Open it using File > Open > Outlook Data File...
Then set it as the default for that profile.

desktop
(if
not
then where?) and then access it via Outlook Data File?

original PST file from the old computer running Outlook
2003
and
XP?
how
do
i know which is the original file?





:

Do you have your original PST file? You should have simply
copied
that
file
to any location but the default, opened it in Outlook and
set
it
as
your
new
default. I would not rely on the backup utility to create
a
file
you
want
to
migrate to a new installation. And you should never copy
an
Outlook
data
file to the default location.

so i copied my .pst file and copied it to my new
computer.
i
can
access
the
information via Personal Folders. all the
information
is
there
with
the
exception of my jpurnal entries.

with Outlook 2003 i would click on a Contact, click
on
the
Activities
tab
and view my previous journal entries. on Outlook
2007
they
are
no
where
to
be seen.

any help would be appreciated.

so basically there is no way of copying the information without fixing the
corruption? this could hve hapened two years ago for all i know.

is there any other way to copy the data to my new computer?
if not than i guess i am out of luck...

That won't help. You're the only one who was there when you corrupted the
profile, so you're the only one with a clue. The only way this could happen
is through end user action.

i wish i knew how it was corrupted. should i run the office repair tool?

Then you need to state the steps you used to corrupt this Outlook
profile.
There is far more to your story than you have told us.

Just open each data file you have on your hard drive until you find the
right one.
