Import/Export rarely reccomended, as it often leads to problems.
Assuming OL2003 functioning with a new pst, In OL FileOpenData File.... browse to location of old pst. Then copy data from old to new, on completion close the old pst "James" wrote in message ...

Export/Import always loses some data and often corrupts it.

They haven't. Most of these problems are actually end user error.
Export is a command used to convert Outlook data to another data type. It was never intended to provide an exact copy of Outlook data and in fact never has. To generate an exact copy of an Outlook data file you use Windows Explorer's copy command to copy the data file. It has long been well documented that exporting loses the following data from an Outlook file: 1. Custom Forms 2. Custom Views 3. Connections between contacts and activities 4. Received dates on mail 5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar 6. Journal connections 7. Distribution Lists Moreover, many users copy their exported PST file before closing it's connection to Outlook. That corrupts it beyond repair. Users can still use export to transfer data if they think there is some reason to as long as they do it correctly and don't mind losing the data listed above. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "James" wrote in message ...
