Calendar won't display in default screen

[tcbartlett]

When my PST file became large, I created a new PST which became the
default receiver of mail. However, the new PST doesn't show the
present week's calendar's entries when Outlook is opened, as it used
to do. To view the calendar, I need to have the old PST file
installed in Outlook, then manually select that Calendar to be
displayed.

Evidently I've done this the wrong way. For the present, is there any
way to copy (or 'migrate', 'import', or whatever the concept is) the
calendar entries from the old PST to the new PST?

For future reference, I suppose that, when the default PST becomes too
large, I should periodically use the archiving tool to remove old
messages from the default PST, thus leaving its calendar intact and
preserving all its entries.

Can a calendar be extracted as a separate file, saved to disk, then
re-inserted into a new PST in Outlook?

Easy. Open the old PST and open the Calendar folder in that PST. Display it
in a table view like By Category. Select all the entries with Ctrl+A. Drag
the selection to the default Calendar folder.

For future reference, I suppose that, when the default PST becomes too
large, I should periodically use the archiving tool to remove old
messages from the default PST, thus leaving its calendar intact and

That works for many people.

You can create another PST and copy the Calendar to that PST, but why bother
when you have the original PST containing that Calendar?
