pst didn't bring calendar and contacts along.

I have moved the pst from the XP system to the Vista system via USB Flash
memory drive and placed it on the desktop.

I have been to File | Open | Outlook Data File... Opened the pst on the desk
top. I get no Calendar or Contacts.

Where did I slip up?

Sounds like you copied the wrong PST file. An archive PST file would contain
no Contacts or Calendar, for example. Also, are you certain you examined
this file in all views and not just the Mail view?

If the PST contained those folders to start with, there's no way at all that
they're still not there. I suspect you're looking at the Mail view of the
Navigation Pane which will show only mail folders. Use the Contacts or
Folder List view to see Contacts and the Calendar or Folder List view to see
your calendar.

Brian,

You were right, there is two contacts folders. One is named Contacts which
contains nothing. The other is Contacts in Personal Folders which contained
all 3,017 items. Outlook opens with Contacts not Contacts in Personal
Folders. How do I change or delete?

The calendar items are all there also in Calendar in Personal Folders. But I
could uncheck the empty one named Calendar and Outlook opens with my
calendar.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. In the lower left is a "Delivery new
e-mail to the following location" drop-down. Change it to reflect the PST
containing the folders you want to be the default folders. Stop and restart
Outlook. Then you can remove the other PST with right-click>Close.
