You need to find and copy the *.pst file. I believe in Outlook 2003 it was
called outlook.pst
In Outlook 2007 it is called Personal Folders(1).pst
Also, it is possible if you copy that file to a CD and then transfer that
file, the file in question might have its properties changed to being Read
Only. You'll need to uncheck that once you have that file in place it needs
to be. I had that happen to me.
So, first do a Search for that *.pst file on your old computer. If all of
this seems a bit too much for you, have a friend who knows more about
computers help you through this. This stuff is not exactly intuitive ...
though it is doable.
.... just trying to help, DH

The name of a PST isn't fixed. It can be named anything the person creating
it wants.

Russ
I have copied the pst file from my old xp/outlook 2007 to a cd and loaded it
onto my new win7 computer running outlook 2007 also. But when I tried to
take the read only attribute away, I got a message that I did not have
administrative rights to do so. Ever run into this? Note, neither outlook
is from an administrative account, and I was unable to get access even when I
tried to change the read only status from my admin account.

So where did you copy this pst file TO on the Windows 7 computer? You need
to copy it to where your User account has FULL read/write privileges - like
your Documents folder.
