so i backed up all my files and reformatted my HD. some of the files i wanted were my old MS Outlook calendar entries, so i copied all the files from:

Documents and Settings\Your Profile\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

I got 3 files (profile.FAV, and 2 that windows doesn't recognize).

I tried putting them back in the same directory on the fresh MS Outlook install, but it's not working. It looks like i should have used some fancy import/export trick, but i didn't. i've still got the files, though, so i'm not ready to give up just yet. I'd really like to restore my calendar.

Any ideas?

Did you copy your outlook.pst file, because that's where the Calendar is located.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
