Going Back to Outlook 2000 after a 2007 Free Trial

[GypsySoulMan]

I've read a few threads about going back to older versions of Outlook after
trying Outlook 2007 via the .pst file; apparently others have tried the trial
2007 and have just opted to go back to their older versions like me. Anyway,
my dilemna is that my older version of Outlook is the more ancient 2000
version. I have access to the Outlook 2007 .pst and also created a second
backup copy of it, another .pst. But since the 2000 and 2007 .psts are
incompatible I can't load the 2007 into 2000. Unfortunately my free trial of
2007 has ended so I can't go back into Outlook 2007 and create a .pst that's
compatible with the older 2000 version. Any ideas or suggestions on a work
around for this.... would rather not lose the past two months worth of
Outlook data that I generated during the free trial. Thanks for any help....

Not true. An expired trial version will still allow you to open Outlook and
export its contents to an ANSI (Outlook 97-2002) formatted pst-file.

Unfortunately both the "Import and Export" and "Outlook Data File" commands
are now grayed out and unavailable in the trial version of 2007. Any other
ideas?

I think you may have the right answer... or at least load the 2007 trial on
another computer to do the conversion. Thanks!
