I'm trying to export and import a .pst file from one computer to another. Both are running Outlook 2003. It exports fine, but when I import it, I get the message "The Operation Failed." It says this after several files and folders have been imported.

Sounds like there's a corrupt item in there. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

Agree with Ed Crowley. You can use scanpst.exe to repair your .pst file before you export it.
