Another Outlook 02 PST TO 03 Transfer
Thanks Brian. I emailed him and will report back for you and others to use in
the future. "Brian Tillman" wrote: Craig S wrote: Brian: Add this to post just made: I put Upstart in C:\Program Files\UPSTART folder I made. How does RUN know where it is.

I've never used Upstart, but I know that Peter Maclean will answer your question if you write to him. His mail address is on his web site. In fact, he sometimes reads these newsgroups. -- Brian Tillman |

Another Outlook 02 PST TO 03 Transfer
Brian, if you're still there, I'm ready to try the Upstart Free utility but
need the following: Pete MacLean indicated that after converting the 02 ANSI PST to Unicode I need to Rename the "Current" Outlook PST to something like "Outlook.old". (1) If something goes wrong in the Utility, I presume I can Rename back to Outlook.PST and recover everything as before. Right? (2) Must I Rename Prior to Running the Utility Conversion and does Renaming to Outlook.old have anything to do with being able to Re-Open Outlook if something goes wrong with Upstart? Many thanks. I'll give you the How-To from Pete's Help after this is done. "Craig S" wrote: Thanks Brian. I emailed him and will report back for you and others to use in the future.

I'm not sure why that would be. If you have the old PST in the mail profile, renaming it without first removing it from the profile is a good way to corrupt the mail profile. (1) If something goes wrong in the Utility, I presume I can Rename back to Outlook.PST and recover everything as before. Right? As long as you keep the original PST or a copy thereof, you should be able to restore things as they were. (2) Must I Rename Prior to Running the Utility Conversion Beats me. I've never used the tool. However, I'll reiterate: if the ANSI-format PST is still a part of your mail profile, avoid renaming it. and does Renaming to Outlook.old have anything to do with being able to Re-Open Outlook if something goes wrong with Upstart? Not at all. -- Brian Tillman |

Another Outlook 02 PST TO 03 Transfer
Pete MacLean says running the following in Command Prompt ought to process,
but I get error messages and he said ask a syntax guru to check it . Do you know anyone who can look at this and confirm it's written correctly? The (3) paths each in quotes are the location of Upstart app, the location of Outlook backup.pst to be converted from ANSI to Unicode, and the target site for the converted files to go. C:\”Program Files\UPSTART\upstart” “C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Craig Files\OUTLOOK PST BACKUP\Outlook backup.pst” “C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst” /E=B There is a Space between each path and /E=B is Best Encryption. If 2002 ANSI .PST is converted to Unicode and the current Outlook.pst is Unicode, I'm not sure why he said to Rename the current one, but he did. I asked if the inclusion of Outlook.pst at the end of the "Target path" was What the New File Would be Named after Upstart converted to Unicode, as opposed to it being a "Target" the app would look for that wouldn't exist if I renamed it (.OLD). He said he didn't understand the question. Do you see what I’m asking or know anyone who can look at this? Transferring 02 to 03 shouldn't be this hard. Many Thanks!

Another Outlook 02 PST TO 03 Transfer
In Command Prompt it starts with C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator
and I'm doing cd c:\ and getting C:\ with the cursor Flashing after the . I can't backspace to put the quotes before the C, and entering "C:\Program etc after the C:\ gives a syntax error. Any other idea? Thanks for your Help, regardless.

Another Outlook 02 PST TO 03 Transfer
Brian: I've found a work-around on Contacts and am moving on. I had followed
an old post to hi-light one contact name, do Cntrl A (select all), Cntrl V (copy) and paste in a folder made on the desktop. Makes numerous lines of ea Contact with a little icon beside it, and I could in 2002 just Dbl Clk and the page would Open as though done from inside outlook.I tried dragging one of the resulting icons into the 2003 Contact empty space on the page and it worked. Still don't understand the new data File link showing two PST Formats with one being 03 only, the other 97-02; As long as the data from my o2 Contacts is readable, i don't care. Thanks for all your time. "Craig S" wrote: In Command Prompt it starts with C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator and I'm doing cd c:\ and getting C:\ with the cursor Flashing after the .
