Sorry for typos in prior post subject line.

My HD failed but I had a backup of my Office XP Pro personal file folder
with a lot of emails I needed. The file is about 128MB in size. I put a new
HD in and installed Office 2003 Pro. When I go to open the old file Outlook
2003 says that the file "is not a personal folders file". (It was backed up
to a CD ROM prior to the crash so the source file should be good.) I really
don't want to uninstall Office 2003 and put back Office XP. Any idea why
2003 won't open the file and how to work around that? Many thanks in advance
to anyone who knows the solution. Alan.
 
There must be something else wrong. I tried your suggestion and got the same
error. I also just tried opening the file on another PC that has Office XP
and the same error comes up. I know that the file has all my emails in it as
the file size is the size of the file I originally backed up. Now I'm
baffled at how to open it up...
