I am trying to mover my contacts from my new version of
Outlook 2003 to a comupter that has Windows XP also but
an older version of Outlook. I have tried using my zip
drive and uploading it to the older computer but the
older computer does not recognize it. Any suggestions.
Thank you

You need to create a new PST file. (File, New, Outlook Data File). Make sure
you select Outlook 97-2002 PST format. Then copy your contacts to that PST
file. You should then be able to open that PST file in older versions of
Outlook.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have tried what you
said than exported the file onto a zip drive than tried
to import it onto the computer with Outlook 2002 and got
an error message that read
.pst is not compatible with this version of the Personal
Folder Informations Service

Any further help you might be able to give.
Thanks again.
