Migrating PST files
I have backup calendar PST files originally created with MS Office XP
professional at my work location. I have copied these files to my home computer which has Outlook 2002 installed. I cannot open these PST files on my home computer, I receive a message stating these files are not compatible with this version of Outlook. What can I do to allow these PST files to be readable on my existing Outlook software? |

Migrating PST files
#1 - Outlook XP & Outlook 2002 are one in the same (Outlook 2002 is the
version included with Office 'XP) #2 - In short - error indicates that the PST you are attempting to open was created by a later version of Outlook then what you currently have on your system - so first reaction is that the files you are attempting to open were created with Outlook '2003 or later and attempted to be opened by Outlook '2002/XP or earlier. (Outlook '2003/2007 will open any PST file from prior versions) (above assumes that the PST files are not corrupt and in turn causing the error - not very likely to be the case given the message encountered but remotely possible) Karl __________________________________________________ ____ Karl Timmermans - The Claxton Group ContactGenie - Importer/DataPorter/Exporter/Toolkit "Contact import/export/data management tools for Outlook '2000/2007" http://www.contactgenie.com "TexasRex" wrote in message ...

Migrating PST files
Fix your pst to the right version. You can try a tool called Advanced
Outlook Repair. You can download a free demo version at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/aor.exe . I think it is a useful repair tool for you. It is easy to recover your PST file by using its wizard. It is a powerful tool to recover messages, folders and other objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft Outlook PST files. Detailed information about Advanced Outlook Repair can be found at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/ Wangdong |
