Sharing .pst between Office 2003 and Office XP

[Dave Girolamo]

I have both Office 2003 and Office XP and cannot figure
out how to work with Outlook from both computers. It
seems that the formats have changed. Is there a way to
share pst files or access from both versions?

Hi Dave,
By default Outlook 2003 uses a pst that it is in Unicode format. This
is new to 2003 and previous previous of outlook cannot view it. In Outlook
2003 create a new pst and it will give you the option of a 97-2002 pst.
Choose that and import your data into it. You will probably be able to
share it at that point.

Cheers

One correction - do NOT import data to the older format, use drag and drop
unless you want to lose important information right and left.
