I'll try and be clearer - i created a new folder(databases.pst) in
D:\Documents and Settings\David Mollet\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook and that folder already included folders
"Outlook.pst", "Outlook backup.pst" and "archive.pst" but databases.pst
has
not appeared in the Folder List hence the problem - hope that clear it up.

Your post is confusing.
You cannot create a PST within a PST.
Describe more accurately what you did.
Any PST you create will appear in your Folder list, enabling easy
transfer
of folders from one PST to another.

hopefully this doesn't sound dumb but yes i created new folder
(databases.pst) in same folder as Outlook.pst etc - no problem but how
do
I
copy Folder B into it - it is not showing up (understandably?) in
"Personal
Folders" so when I right-click on Folder B I cannot copy it to new
folder
(databases.pst) because i do not know where it is - your help greatly
appreciated. David
:
It's not hard.
In Outlook: File > New > Outlook Data File (make sure you remember the
name
and location of the file you are creating).
Just copy this Folder from your current PST file into the new one you
just
created.
Close Outlook.
Copy this PST file and open it in the other installation to access it
(File
Open > Outlook Data File).

You're dealing with a TCP (technologically challenged person) - i
don't
know
how to create a .pst file and the crrent data is in a folder -
thanks.

Take care, David
:
Then just copy this folder into its own PST file.

yes but i only want to transfer Folder B not the 30 folders etc -
can i
do
this and if not would the alternative be to transfer Outlook.pst
file
and
then delete all the other folders - as the database will be
transferred
back
and forth continually this is going to be very laborious - surely
there
are
"shortcuts"?
:
Unclear question.
Any Folder you create in Outlook will be in your Outlook data
file
(PST
file).

i have created a database (let us call folder B) that is in
folderA
that
is
in Personal Folders. I need to transfer the contacts into
another
computer
(will do it via jump drive) - both computers XP Pro. Where is
folder
B?
I
have right clicked on folder B but apparently one can only
copy
within
"Folder List" - have gone to Application Data etc but cannot
find
it,
have
use "Looked for" to no avail - your help very much
appreciated.
Take
care,
David
