Hi,

In a magazine article that I read, it said that when moving from Outlook 2002 or
earlier to Outlook 2003, you should convert the file to the new format that is
found in 2003, but how can I do that

BTW. I don't want to loose all of the documents and setting that are already
associated with the current file

Thank you in Advance

Merci a l'Avance

In Outlook 2003, File->New->Outlook Data File->Type->Personal Folders File.
Do not select the 97-2002 format. Then drag and drop your folders from the
old to the new.

What about the inbox and all the other e-mail and calendar related folders.

I tried what you suggested and I lost all of the appointment and task that were
recorded in the "old file"

BTW. will I have to redo all of the E-Mail setup
