Easy to say, but I have no clue if there is a backup. Unless its done
automatically I doubt it exists.

Ah yes, well thanks for that heart warming response. I'm fully aware of the
need, but obviously it had never occured to me to do this. Might I ask where
such files would exist or what there name/extension would be.

Sure. Or read the group. The information is posted every day.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Doug & Russ: How does Bill Gates sleep at night...I know, very soundly. I
too lost my database COMPLETELY as well, gone, nada, luckily I do back it up
about once a month in an Excel spreadsheet, but voila', Microsoft 2007 won't
take in 97-2003 Excel anymore, it just shuts down with the infamous error.

Microsift releases these versions years before they are ready at the expense
of business people till WE refine them. It is truly outrageous!!

I personally am dumping 2007 amd getting a refund.
