I am trying to import my backed up emails in outlook 2003 after a system
format and reinstall. I have the csv file on seperate hard disk, but when i
try to import i get Translation Error window with message :- A file error has
occurred in the Comma Seperated Values (Windows) translator while
initializing a translator to build a field map.
Outlook was unable to retrieve the data from the file "F:\Outlook
2003\20-01-2009.CSV". Verify that you have the correct file, that you have
permission to open it, and that it is not open in another program.
I am running vista HP and have had no problems until now. I have tried
running as administrator but no luck.

A CSV file is NOT an accurate backup. By using that format you have
guaranteed that you have lost some data.

Can you open the CSV in Excel? Does it look correct if you do? Try
uninstalling the Importers and Exporters and reinstalling them via the
Office setup in Control Panel's Add or Remove Programs applet.
