Import contacts from Outlook 2003 to 2002 - compatibility issue??

Professional Outlook 2002. The message I get when doing this is - The (file name) is not compatible with this version of the Personal Folders Information Service. Contact your admnistrator Please has anyone got any bright ideas, I am the administrator (it's a one man band business) and I'm stuck! All thoughts, comments, suggestions etc gladly welcomed Thanks Sally |

Create a new PST file on your Outlook 2003 machine and make sure it's in
97-2002 format. Copy your Contacts folder into it then go along with the rest of the procedure you were doing. "SallyW67" wrote in message ...

Simply open it in Outlook with FileOpenOutlook Data File, open the COntacts folder it will contain, select all the entries it contains with CTRL-A, click EditCopy to Folder, and speficy your default Contacts folder as the destination. -- Brian Tillman |

Brain
Thank you so much for your input - unfortunately having followed your instructions to the 't' I'm still getting the same error message coming up. I've checked the properties of the file and they are '97/2002 so I'm well and truely scuppered now! Any other helpful hints Thanks "Brian Tillman" wrote: SallyW67 wrote: I am trying to import some contacts from an Outlook 2003 .pst file into my XP Professional Outlook 2002.

Import contacts from Outlook 2003 to 2002 - compatibility issu
Hi Vince
Thank you for your suggestion - unfortunately, having followed your instructions to the 't' I'm still getting the same error message coming up. I've checked the properties of the file and they are '97/2002 so I'm well and truely scuppered now! I've also tried what Brian Tillman suggested after you and again the same happens. Could this be anything to do with updates or XP SP2? I'm also going to check the site for any new updates which may help Any other helpful hints Thanks "Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Create a new PST file on your Outlook 2003 machine and make sure it's in 97-2002 format.
