Thanks again for your reply Peter. I have read each of the articles you
listed, and tried tomapply them, but to no avail. I have spent some 9 hours
today without luck. Each of these articles appears to me to not consider
Outlook 2007. I am trying to transfer my Outlook 2003 files which I have
backed up successfully, put on my HDD successfully, looked to make sure they
are there, but can find no way to get them into Outlook 2007. I have searched
the Office 207 site, and cannot find anything either. Do you know anything
else that may help? I am at my wits end with this, and have very little hair
left to tear out!!
Thank you again.
