Hi there,

I am using MS Outlook XP and need to import a PST file that was generated in
Outlook 2003. However when I try to do this I get the following error
message:

'outlook.pst is not compatible with this version of the Personal Folders
information service. Contact your administrator.'

Is there anyway around this please? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gary.
 
You'll need to use Outlook 2003 for this and create an Outlook 97-2002
pst-file and export the data to that file. For more info see;
