Hello

I recently installed OL2003 on my desktop. My laptop still
has OL98 (and I cannot upgrade there). How can I transfer
my Contacts back? The pst file comes up as "not
compatible" when I try Export from 2003 and Import into 98
(or 2000 for that matter, which I have also tried).

Thanks for your input!

You need to create a Outlook 97 - 2002 style pst file and then manually copy
your items into this new folder. (Sounds like you have the new unicode pst
file format and a file | import and export will create a unicode style pst
file that is not backward compatible.)

You can create this pst file by selecting file | new | outlook data file |
outlook 97/2002 personal folders.
