MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / March 2008pst conversion ... 97/2002 to 2007
I asked something similar in another thread but was getting off that topic's original question so I reposted here. The situation is this - I bought Office 2007 last year and imported the pst file from my Outlook 2000. (OK< I now know I shouldn't have done that, but the option was there and I did it.) So, my present outlook.pst file contains Contacts, etc. from the Office 2000 flavor and, of course, the newly created 2007 Contacts, etc. flavor. I have since learned that there are several kinds of pst files. How do I go about converting my outlook.pst (Personal Folder file 97-2002) to the new and improved Office Outlook Personal Folder File 2007. Thanks, DH >I asked something similar in another thread but was getting off that >topic's original question so I reposted here.

Thanks, DH If you imported into Outlook 2007 then the pst should already be the new Unicode format.... >>I asked something similar in another thread but was getting off that >>topic's original question so I reposted here.

When I look at Data File Management, I am told my pst file is the 97-2002 type. Since I bought Office 2007 a year ago, it is possible I simply copied my older outlook.pst file to the new location. I don't remember. At any rate, from where I stand now, can I convert my 97-2002 pst file to the 2007 type? If I create a new pst 2007 file, I am told: .... Not compatible with Outlook 97,98, 2000 and 2002. Thanks, DH Create a new pst, by default it will be later, unicode version, then copy data from old to this new pst. Set this pst as the default store, close the old pst >>>I asked something similar in another thread but was getting off that >>>topic's original question so I reposted here.

It would seem I would have to copy each individual item within each folder under Personal Folders. This would take a considerable amount of time. Is there a utility that can be recommended to do this task for me? Thanks, DH > Create a new pst, by default it will be later, unicode version, then copy > data from old to this new pst.

Then Edit>Copy (or Move) to Folder works fine. The Calendar will need to be in a table view like By Category before CTRL-A will work. > Is there a utility that can be recommended to do this task for me? If you want to buy something, sure.
