Used to use Lotus Notes into Outlook 2002 via connector. Now migrated to
Outlook 2003 (Still using same OS of Win XP Pro). Cannot open the saved
Notes.pst in Outlook now. Generates error along the lines of "unable to open
the file, not a valid Outlook file". Is it possible to open the file at all
without Notes?
 
how was it saved? to a cd? did you remove the read only check box?

I'm getting exactly the same error on a 1.4gb PST file I backed up with all
last years email on. Can't understand what the problem is - I have other
(smaller) PST files on the same DVD and they all work fine.

Are there any decent PST recovery tools?
 
I did copy them to the hard drive and set as read only.

I've also tried running tools such as ScanPST and some other 3rd party
recovery software.

None of these programs recognise the PST file as a PST file!
