Outlook 2003 conversion to Outlook 2007 problem...

[Greg]

Hello,

I need help trying to figure out why my recurring events get screwed
up when I import my backup .pst file into Outlook 2007. I imported
everything okay, but when I go to check my calendar, the recurring
events go from 10:00 pm the previous day until the day of the event.
For instance, Christmas day is showing up on December 24th and 25th.
When I click on the recurring event, it shows otherwise. It shows the
event starting at 12:00 am on the 25th. To further make things rough,
my Blackberry is wanting to sync the same information so that all of
my events will show one day earlier i.e. holidays, birthdays,
anniversaries, etc.

Can someone help?

Thank you,

Greg

By the way...the 2003 version is on an older Dell laptop with Windows
XP, and the new 2007 version is on a new Sony laptop with Windows 7
version.

Thanks!

NEVER import a native Outlook file.

Copy the .pst file to My Documents (in Windows 7 use the User/Documents
folder) and in Outlook, File->Open->Outlook Data File.
