well, it appears to change the .dat file from 105kb to 502kb but after restarting Onenote it seems to not bring anything over. &nbsp;I am moving it to a new profile (name) in XP. &nbsp;Could that be anything???

OK - here is the issue. &nbsp;If you copy the .dat file over, the OneNote app must be closed and not running. &nbsp;If you just copy and paste while running, you will get no indication this process cannot be completed (file in use message). &nbsp;But once I shut it all down and then pasted the .dat file things worked great!<br />

Thanks
