Sorry gentlemen I got caught in that update EE had earlier tonight......then had to leave for a Halloween party. So my question was stuck in the middle of the 30 minute update.

The version is Outlook 2007 I am or can move it to either a Vista for Business with Enterprise Office 2007 and the Outlook version there or I can put on a new instal of WinPro7 with Office Professional 2010.

Any other recommendations.....thank you...!

There I got it. The .PST was on a Vista For Business installation. Thank you for all your contributions.

One last thing. I thought the .pst file also imported the Rules and alerts as well as all the email accounts.

Is there a way to pull the RULES and EMAIL account inforrmation from the old 2007 install to the new Outlook 2010 install. I have assumed the imports work but I do not know what files to get again.....

Remember I have no access to the original application as the mother board failed and all I have is access to the files that were in the folder.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The PST file does not contain the Accounts - you do have to remake them. I am not sure about rules. Calendar alerts should come over. .... Thinkpads_User
Everything you said worked but none of the rules were brought over. I am guessing I need to try to move the rules over manually or just rebuild all 50 of them. Thank you for the support. I am surprised at Microsoft that they have not included that in a migration. How important that time savings would be to a customer. Must not have enough programmers around their to do so....huh.
