Microsoft Outlook Files with Vista and XP

I am VERY new at Outlook, and I am working on a Vista desktop but have
an XP laptop. Can I somehow use a flash drive to transfer the Outlook
data from this desktop to the laptop each day? I just don't want to
mess up anything. Thank you in advance!

I've done it many times between two XP systems and with Outlook 2003,
even though it's not recommended. I merely transferred the entire
contents of the folder containing the Outlook.pst file between the two
machines so I could keep each machine current.

With Vista to XP, I wouln't know. Plus you are probably using Outlook
2007.

Better check with the folks in

microsoft.public.outlook.general or outlook.newusers

And that's not available on the forum you are using.
