2007 Outlook Backwards compatibility with Outlook 2000

[David]

Can I import a backup .pst file from a version of Outlook that was bundled
with Office 2000 into the latest version of Outlook 2007?

 

[DL]

Yes & no
Within Oulook2007, open the data file, that you have copied to eg your
Documents folder, dont import it

if he is going to use it, then it should be imported into a pst of the new
type format, if he just needs to check something it in, then opening is ok.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ansi-to-unicode.asp for methods to move
from an old pst ro a new one.
