From: Russ Valentine on 5 May 2010 17:18 Upgrade installations are and always have been problematic with Outlook, even more so with betas. Best practice is install Outlook clean and use the supported methods for migrating your Outlook data (posted here daily). If you decide to experiment with an upgrade installation anyway, at the very least you should create a new Outlook profile from scratch and back up all data thoroughly ahead of time. -- Russ Valentine "Oliver Costich" <oc(a)5cats.net> wrote in message news:0um3u5l80i93l84eli4b55f1hlp51jp1nf(a)4ax.com... > If I install Occe 2010 over my Office 2007, will Outlook 2010 find my > contacts, calendar, email, etc., or do I need to do something with the > outlook.pst file
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 5 May 2010 18:23 Uninstall Office 2007, reboot and install Office 2010. It should find the profile and use all the existing settings but its usually better to make a new profile. -- "Oliver Costich" <oc(a)5cats.net> wrote in message news:0um3u5l80i93l84eli4b55f1hlp51jp1nf(a)4ax.com... > If I install Occe 2010 over my Office 2007, will Outlook 2010 find my > contacts, calendar, email, etc., or do I need to do something with the > outlook.pst file

To satisfy my own curiosity, I'm going to be choosing "Upgrade" for my installation of Office 2010 because I want to see what happens to the mail profile and be aware of what problems arise. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I'm hopeful it will work better (but not ready to be a guinea pig). They finally made some improvements to the migration process. New profiles no longer automatically create a new, blank PST file but provide an option to connect to a previous file. That procedure works quite well and creates no ghosts. -- Russ Valentine "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" <tillman1952(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:uUnAWER7KHA.3924(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > "Russ Valentine" <russval(a)mvps.org> wrote in message > news:%23u3ZTiJ7KHA.3504(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > >> Upgrade installations are and always have been problematic with Outlook, >> even more so with betas.
