Hello wise ones, I wonder if the above is possible and if so, would anyone
please be able to help me. I use 2002 because it syncs happily with my PDA
running Mobile 5 but I've been given some files of type .pst to work with on
my desktop on behalf of someone who's going on holiday. Problem is, having
copied them into the relevant folder, I get a message to the effect that they
aren't cpmpatible with this version of Outlook.

Is there a way or am I missiong something? I have installed the File
Convertor for 2007 in desperation but that doesn't help.

Many thanks.
 
No, that is not possible. You'll need to either have Outlook 2003 or Outlook
2007 or have them resend the files as Outlook 97-2002 formatted pst-files.
The File Convertor for Office 2007 only applies to the document formats
(docx, xlsx, pptx, etc...).

Note that Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 will also happily sync with your
Windows Mobile 5 device ;-)
 
Thanks for that, Roady - was beginning to suspect that might be the case. My
PDA, an HP iPaq 6510, has always refused to sync with anything more recent
than 2002. Maybe I need an upgrade.
