Oh my gosh, you are right. I installed the wrong version (after I had to
re-format my hard drive.) How foolish do I feel? Well, now I have pulled all
of my email off the internet into an older version of Outlook. I just
located my 2003 CD. So that I don't mess up again, can you go ahead and
explain how I should go about pulling my emails out of 2002? I'm asuming I
will need to uninstall office 2002 and re-install 2003.
And you thought this would be easy.
Thanks much!
