I am using Outlook 2002 and I have lost my Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Tasks
folders. By lost I mean all the data was accidentally deleted (I was stupid and
did a dumb thing. It happens sometimes). The folders are there but they are
empty. I have made it a practice to periodically to make a COPY of those
folders and place them in My Personal Folders. My copies are there and the
information is there. My question is how do I import or get the information in
my copied folders back into the original folder???? I have tried copying them
down, but all that does is add a folder name Calendar1, for example. Any and
all help would be greatly appreciated. GPS

I have Outlook 97, Windows OS 98SE. This happened to me once. I found
that everything was in the c:\windows\outlook.pst file. I can open it
in outlook from the file drop down menu (file,open special
folder,personal folder). Hope this helps.
 
You should be able to use File | Import and Export to import all the data
from your backup .pst file.
 
includes a SHAMELESS plug for, what looks to be, a great book.

I may order that book....have been looking for a book like that for a while.
