Problems after downgrading from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2002

[Ealadi]

7 months ago I installed Office 2003 Beta. When the trail period expired
recently I removed Office 2003 and reinstalled Office 2002. Unfortunately I
did not make any backup of my Outlook files. Office 2002 could read only the
file (outlook.pst) that was made before the Office2003 trial period. The
file that was generated during the trial period (outlook1.pst) could not be
imported into Outlook 2002.



I have now learned that Outlook 203 uses a file format different from that
of Outlook 2002, so I re-installed Outlook 2003, but I still get an error
message when trying to import outlook1.pst.



I really hope to recover the mail from the 7 moths' period, so any advice
will be greatly appreciated.





Thank you
