Upgraded computers and Office. How to migrate Outlook contacts & email?

[LurfysMa]

We just bought new computers running Win XP Pro. We bought Office 2007
Pro and had a tech install it while he was installing the new
machines.

I guess he forgot to copy something over from the old machines because
we don't have any of our contacts, tasks, or email.

I can't call the tech back until Monday. Is there some file I need to
copy over to get it to work? I would like to get some work done this
weekend.

Both machones are connected to a network co it would be easy to copy
if I just knew what to copy and from where to where.

Thanks for any help.

There is a minor second problem. The tech had Outlook running on the
new machines to test it and a few emails came in. It would be great if
those aren't lost when the old data is copied over. If that's
impossible of difficult, I can live without that.

Thanks

Copy ove the pst-file from the old machine and use File-> Open-> Outlook
Data File... to connect to it.
