Hi, Is there anyway to convert Outlook 2003 PST file back in to Outlook 2002 PST formats? Cheers' Dave No. You have to use Outlook 2003 to create a PST compatible with Outlook 2002, then copy the items into the newly created older format PST.

But now I find that it's a special 2003 version. .... I have pulled off the 2003 version of the program on my PC and went back to 2002 and tried to restore my PST's ....now of course when I try to restore them back on to my 2002 version I can't use them becasue they are a 2003 version. Is there a way to fix this? How can I get back to my old 2002 and get my PST's re-imported in to it?

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Cheers' > > Dave You have to create a 2002 compatible PST from within 2003. When you create a new PST in Outlook 2003 it asks you if you want to create a Microsoft Office Outlook Personal Folders file or a Outlook 97-2002 Compatible Personal Folders file. You need to create the second type, then copy your information from the incompatible PST file to the newly created one.
