Office 2000 to 2003 - Outlook issue

[ANONYMOUS]

Actually it should only say Outlook.pst. What you have done is simply
copying the new files onto old files but left the settings intact.

To change everything to default Office 2003 format, you will need to
uninstall Office from your system and to delete some registry keys
before re-installing. I would not try this as registry can be damaged
and your system would be rendered useless!

Next time when you reinstall Operating system, make sure you install
office applications using default settings.

Thanks Millie...I closed OL2003...renamed the pst file...re-installed Office
2003...got a new pst file after OL couldn't find the outlook.pst file...but
when I click on Data File Management...personal folders...setup...I still
get the format as "Personal Folders File (97-2002)"

Is this right..should it now not be a 2003 format ?

Thanks, Tim R

You will need to specifically create the new Unicode format - it does not
automatically get installed except in new installations and with Exchange
installations.

File->New->Outlook Data File->Type->Personal Folders File. Drag and drop
your items from the old to the new - HINT: for copying the calendar, display
as a table (categories) select all and drag and drop on the new calendar
FOLDER, not the calendar itself.

Do what I said, create the new unicode .pst file WITHIN the same Outlook
session, then copy your items from the old to the new, paying attention to
the instructions for copying your calendar items.

Do what I said, create the new unicode .pst file WITHIN the same Outlook
session, then copy your items from the old to the new, paying attention to
the instructions for copying your calendar items.

| Thanks Millie...I closed OL2003...renamed the pst file...re-installed
| Office 2003...got a new pst file after OL couldn't find the
| outlook.pst file...but when I click on Data File
| Management...personal folders...setup...I still get the format as
| "Personal Folders File (97-2002)"
|
| Is this right..should it now not be a 2003 format ?
|
| Thanks, Tim R

| || You will need to specifically create the new Unicode format - it

||
|| File->New->Outlook Data File->Type->Personal Folders File. Drag and
|| drop your items from the old to the new - HINT: for copying the
|| calendar, display as a table (categories) select all and drag and
|| drop on the new calendar FOLDER, not the calendar itself.

to figure out how to 'add' a pst file after your earlier post...but I found
the answer in the MSKB. Everything appears to be doing fine now...thanks
