Did you actually copy the pst file or did you export it? The folders are
definitely not hidden.

When looking for the .pst file to copy, did you use Windows Search and
include hidden/system folders? The default .pst file is a hidden file and
not always discoverable using the normal search.

After furious head scratching, Slick asked:

| Hello. Before reformatting, I made sure I copied my .pst file.
| Although, it did not open correctly after going to File>Open>Outlook
| Data File... No error message, but non of the folders loaded. Only
| messages I received were 2 in my Inbox (which wasn't the original
| location) and all my sent items. When I made a .pst copy, it was in a
| personal folder. I noticed there is a .pst file called "Outlook" made
| by the install program, so I wonder, once folders are loaded from a
| personal .pst, is everything saved to that "Outlook" file? All help
| is appreciated.
|
| Thank you!

I did not use any search. I knew where the .pst was that I have been using
for years. I thought maybe it was the Office 2003 switch so I tried loading
it on to a computer running Office 2000, but no success.
