can't find old data from Outlook 5 after upgrading to X

[Clinton Gilbert]

I upgraded my friend's slot load iMac with ram and OS X and installed
Office X. she wanted to use Entourage as her mail client as she had
been using Outlook 5 when she was running OS 9.
Stepping through the import in Entourage was very smooth but I was
not able to select Outlook when "helping" Entourage find her copy of
Outlook.
The app was there but it was greyed out.
Later I tried to open Outlook in classic mode and it started up as a new
installation with no mail or addresses. Please help me and my friend
find her old stuff!
Thanks,
Clinton

You aren't supposed to select Outlook Express in the window. It's there so
that you can find your Outlook Express 5 "Identities" folder. This folder
is usually located in one of the following places:
HD/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Identities/
Outlook Express 5 Folder/Identities

I would try both of those folders when importing. You should be able to
find your data. I imagine it is in the first location.
