    File -> Import and Export -> Export to a File -> Personal Folder File -> Choose whichever folder you want to export, and select where to put it....repeat process for other folders (ie address book).

    Usually, the Outlook.pst file contains all that stuff. Does for Outlook 2003 anyway. There is an addon for 2003 that is designed for that process and should work in 2002. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    I simply back up the .pst file. It contains all the emails, address book, calendar etc. You can find out the path of the .pst file by right clicking and choosing properties.

    There is a great war coming. Are you sure you are on the right side? Atleast I have chosen a side.

    If I have been helpful, Please Rate my Post. Thanks.
