Can I access my outlook calender without opening outlook?  Recently I
ran into a hardware problem and can't run the OS on my hard drive -
but I can access the files.   Can I access it using outlook on another computer?

Maybe you could try copying the entire Outlook (or Microsoft Office)
directory to another computer with Outlook already installed?

Hello brooklinejeff-ga,

Sure you can: In General, and assumig you are using Miscrosoft Outlook
(working in internet email mode) and not Outlook express on a computer
with Windows XP, this would be the procedure:

There is a file generally called outlook.pst that contains everything
that you store inside outlook and should be on c:\Documents and
Settings\<your account name>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook or you can also try doing a search on your hard
drive for *.pst files.

copy that file to a computer with Outlook installed (if you have it on
a CD you need to copy it to the HD as Outlook needs write access to
it) and then Open Outlook and go to File - Open - Outlook data file
and to open it.

If you are using other OS and dont find the file or are using Outlook
in corporate email mode with and exchange server or are using Outlook
Express, the process could be a little different, so, if you find
trouble following it just post more details and I will be happy to
further help you...

Regards,
