Remove ABCD from Email address to reply - 08 Jul 2006 22:01 GMT

I am using Outlook 2003 in a single user environment. I previously was
using older versions and just continued using the same pst file. When I
look at the profile it shows my file format is "Outlook 97-2002 Personal
Folders File (.pst)". I see that there is also a file format of "Office
Outlook Personal Folders File(.pst)".

I would like to know the difference between the 2 formats and if I should be
switching and how to switch.

Thanks,
Neil

Or you can just search the KB. It's often a good place to start when you
