MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2005can't find my contacts
I deleted Office 2k Pro and for some reason Office 2003 Pro went also. I have no idea where my 2003 disk is, so reinstalled 2000. However I can't find my contacts or address books. I can find .pst files, but can't open them. Says to chose a file to open them and I have no idea in the world which one that would be. No one could possibly help you until you provide far more accurate and far more complete information on what you did. Your post makes no sense whatsoever.

Somehow Office 2003 Pro was also deleted. I reinstalled Office 2000 because I don't know where my Office 2003 disk is located. When I opened Outlook in Office 2000 none of my contacts were in the address book. I can find the .pst files, but can't seem to get them open. Therefore I need to know how to get my contacts into the address book. > No one could possibly help you until you provide far more accurate and far > more complete information on what you did.

You know what you deleted and what you didn't. No one else does. Reinstalling an older version of Outlook and expecting it to work is not realistic. I would suggest you read about Outlook data files and how they are used. Figure the rest out for yourself. If you cannot post back with more complete information. http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx Opening PST files is easy. You use a program called Outlook. File > Open > Outlook data file. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > okay, I will type slowly so you can understand.

Doing what you instructed opened an old file with only 2 addresses. However, I found the answer I needed in another person's question and answer so I won't have to bother you again. > Typing slowly is not the problem here.

The new Unicode format .pst file from Outlook 2003 is not compatible with earlier versions of Outlook. You will not be able to use Outlook 2000 to open any .pst files you created in that new format.
