[dba-Tech] FW: Outlook reinstall

This is one of the most frustrating things about Outlook is the hoops you
have to jump through to copy it off to another machine or even get it
reinstalled on a new machine.  It is just stupid really.

Hi Susan,
Here are two links (the second being more thorough) on how to save all of
your outlook files and settings.

I know - "couldn't there just be a command to backup Outlook data?! Outlook
knows where to look for crying out loud!"

I say it all the time. One of these days I'll have some time and write some
code to do this - yeah right.
 ;o)

Good luck - John B

I'm probably going to have to reinstall Outlook -- the translator files have
been corrupted and I'm trying to export data to an Access data and it just
can't do it. 

I don't mind losing settings or rules -- that sort of thing, but will
reinstalling destroy the mail in my pst folders and entries in my address
book? Or will the installation process maintain them?
