I'm thinking of upgrading to Office 2007 on my business computer but I'm afraid I'll lose my emails and contacts. Will this happen or will 2007 automatically import contacts and emails from Office XP? Any help would be appreciated.
It automatically imports all contacts and migrates everything over flawlessly.

Oh great, thanks very much. I think I would have been shot if I lose everything.

No problem. I just did the migration on a corporate computer using a retail CD about 15 minutes prior to your question. It only needed CD 1 for the upgrade to the entire Office 2007 Pro.

Might want to check your facts before posting replies based on the anecdote of one user. In place upgrades of Outlook rarely if ever work well when the data store is a PST file. A new Outlook profile and reconfiguration of the Outlook Address Book Service will be required at a minimum with an in place upgrade. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "USHealth" wrote in message news:52B483CB-A074-412B-9717-2145659D05BC@microsoft.com... > It automatically imports all contacts and migrates everything over > flawlessly. > > "Lyn" wrote: > >> I'm thinking of upgrading to Office 2007 on my business computer but I'm >> afraid I'll lose my emails and contacts.

However, making a backup prior to upgrading is always a good idea. http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/backupandrestore.htm -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
