MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / February 2006Importing into Outlook 2003
When I try to import a .pst file into Outlook 2003 I get a message "The operation failed. An object could not be found." I have been using this facility successfully for several weeks. I have tried system restore and scanpst, but they make no difference. Any ideas what I should try? > When I try to import a .pst file into Outlook 2003 I get a message > "The operation failed.

DON'T IMPORT - go to File-Open-Outlook Data File - don't you read replies to your posts? Yes. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately all it does is make Outlook fall over and send an error message to Microsoft. > > When I try to import a .pst file into Outlook 2003 I get a message > > "The operation failed.

Importing from a PST is never the way to transfer data into Outlook.  SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks. I used the Inbox repair tool to repair the file - it found 5 errors and corrected them. However, Outlook 2003 still shut down when I tried to open the file. Looking at the other postings here, could it be because the file I am trying to open is Outlook 2000, and needs some sort of "translation" before Outlook 2003 can recognise it? > > Yes.

Importing from a PST is never the way to transfer data into Outlook. No. Outlook 2000 files are perfectly compatible with Outlook 2003. There's probably more to your story than you've told us for you to have developed this problem. Create new profile. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thanks.

The only other bit of information I can think of is that when I open Outlook I get a dialogue box called Microsoft LDAP Directory with a tab called Connection Details. Server is "NULL", Port is a 4 digit number, User Name is "NULL" and Password is blank. I simply click the "OK" button and it goes away. Is this relevant? I do not want to use Outlook 2003 as my email vehicle - I am quite happy with Outlook Express - I am simply using it to transfer my electronic diary from my work computer to my PDA. > No. Outlook 2000 files are perfectly compatible with Outlook 2003.

If so, my recommendation is even more compelling: Create a new profile!

However, I have created a new profile, and in combination with using SCANPST I can now get my work calendar onto my home computer. Many thanks. > I suspect there is more you've left out. > Did you do an in place upgrade from Outlook 2000 IMO mode? [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > >> >> PST.

It's not relevant, but that particular probem is easily fixed. Tools>E-mail Accounts>View existing directories or address books>Next. Remove the LDAP server. SignatureBrian Tillman My new profile is not being used for email, so I don't get this problem any more. Many thanks for your help. > > The only other bit of information I can think of is that when I open > > Outlook I get a dialogue box called Microsoft LDAP Directory with a [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Accounts>View existing directories or address books>Next.
