Hi Again Everyone... I have a new, and very significant issue with my Outlook 2000 program. Sorry to be such a pain to the group, but my expertise in Computer Software/Hardware is only enough to be dangerous.
I just had a motherboard failure in my main computer which rendered the computer useless. Lucky for me I had just done a system backup earlier in the week. So, had to go out and get a new motherboard, install it and restore from my backup. Backup was made by Retrospect HD. Came to find out that the restore would not work because it was made on a different hardware configuration. Wonderful! Ok, so I set about re-installing all of my required programs. QuickBooks 2000 Pro didn't re-install because it needed an activation number. So called Intuit Support, somewhere in India, and basically got laughed at and told to buy new version, but new version would not import data from my older version. After passing on my displeasure I hung up. I then remembered that I had this problem once before, and thanks to Donk, was able to get to get an older restore to work. Now, for my latest catastrophe. I can't seem to be able to restore my Address Book in Outlook. I was able to restore the emails and rules feature however. I have tried to copy various files from a duplicate C-Drive folder to the Outlook Directory found under the Old Admin account, docs and settings, admin, app data, Microsoft, outlook file to no avail. I have been told that the address book is a (User).PAB file. I have copied the one found into the new user account file with the other files. I renamed the original file (User)-PAB.Bak. Nothing works. Went to the Microsoft website, searched and found an article about copying an address book, but many of the paths indicated do not appear in my installation. The technical info is... O/S: XP Home, SP3 PROGRAM: Office 2000 Anyone offer some direction before I loose all of my hair and have a stroke? Thanks...
