    OUTLOOK BACK UP
    « on: March 03, 2010, 07:19:51 AM »
    I use W2000 Professional.

    I recently decided that it would be a good idea to back up all my Outlook folders to a removable disk.
     
    However, when I now open Outlook in my computer I get the three dialogue boxes - as attached. I click "ok", "cancel" and "ok" respectively for each dialogue box which all go away and enable me to then  use Outlook normally.
     
    But is there any way that I can make these dialogue boxes go away? ie not appear in the first place!

    I need simple  step by step "layman" instructions, please!!!!

      How did you copy the files, which files?
      If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

      Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

      I don't know what you did, but all you need to do is copy the Outlook.pst file. It contains all email and contact data.

        As well as just directly copying the PST file instead of going thru Outlook's Export Wizard(It messed me up once)
