Converting PST from (97-2002) format to (2003) format?

[Yogi Watcher]

Hi Gurus,

Is there any way to convert existing PST files from (97-
2002) format to (2003) format?

One way would be to create a PST file in 2003 format and
copy all items from old PST file into new one and then
start using new PST file....

.....But was wondering if there is any easy way?

Not copy, but import. That's the easiest method. Note that importing will
break all connects between contacts and items linked to them and may also
break distribution lists in the new file.

Copying folder/items from old to new is best because it generally preserves
any custom views. Only other method is an import (File | Import and Export
| Import from another program or file | Personal Folders).
