| | Microsoft Outlook Files with Vista and XP I am VERY new at Outlook, and I am working on a Vista desktop but have an XP laptop. Can I somehow use a flash drive to transfer the Outlook data from this desktop to the laptop each day? I just don't want to mess up anything. Thank you in advance! -- laprostitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ laprostitch's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/laprostitch.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-fil...nt/1029643.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Just go to the Open *PST file, and then make the new PST file the default email drop off. Once your restart Outlook, you can then close the original start up PST file. It will move all folders and calendar files to your old PST file. (That you added). I always use a separate drive, so both OSs see it on the same "Drive". eg. C: = XP, D: has Vista on it, but both share Drive E: with the data files on it. Both OSs will point to the PST file on E:/ All good. |
