Oh. I didn't know. That's how I transferred last time. Ok. I exported to a
..pst folder on my desktop then I uploaded the folder to a web based file
sharing site. I then downloaded to the new computer & have attempted to both
import & I've used the fileopenoutlook data file.

Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data.
PST files are Outlook's native file format. Just open them.
If you can't open it, then you will have to provide information on how you
created and transferred the file. Whatever you did made it inaccessible.

I've recently changed computers and was attempting to use the
import/export
feature to transfer my Outlook 2003 info to the new computer. When I try
to
import into the new outlook I get an error message telling me that the
file
is not a .pst personal folders file. But it is. Before attempting the
import
I had done all the Microsoft updates.
