I'm trying to transfer my custom views from OOTP 24 to OOTP26.
I tried copying USER.DAT from the 24 config folder to the 26 config folder but that did not work.
Any suggestions?

Make sure 26 is not running when you copy the use.dat file.
The most common mistake, and the only reason I have seen the file not stick, is users go through the settings to open the file location that holds user.dat. They then copy in the file from the previous version. This does not work as OOTP if open will overwrite the new file. To get it to stick you have to close OOTP before copying the file in.
One thing to look for when using the old user.dat file in v26 is they added a couple of new categories. I can't recall which ones for sure but I think there is a "Dem" (short for demand) and maybe? "Rookie" (that may have been there and it's something else) which will display a "yes" or "no" in the column. These don't screw any of your old settings up but they may randomly appear in some of your views.
