Error while opening PST

Guest

Hi !

I had created a PST through Outlook 2003, due to some reasons I had to
move back to Outlook XP. Now, when I try to open the PST it throws an error
which says, the mentioned PST is not compatible. I understand that Outllook
XP is not able to read the PST created by Outllook 2003, but I would like to
know if there is any way to solve this problem.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Outlook 2003 is the only thing that
can create a Outlook 97/2002 compatible PST file. (You have the new unicode
version which isn't backward compatible.) Best bet is to install Outlook
2003 and then move the items into the older style PST.
