Importing dbf into Outlook 2003

[Jayson]

I had exported my email from Outlook 2000 as dbf files. When I upgraded my
system, now using Outlook 2003, I do not see an option to import from a dbf
file. Is there any other way to get my email other then first converting
them with access? When I use access, I do not get all the memo information.

I had exported my email from Outlook 2000 as dbf files.

As far as I know, Outlook doesn't export that type of file. That's usually
a dBase, Visual FoxPro, or Act! file type. That's not how you move Outlook
from one machine to another. See instead

Outlook 2000 allows you to export as dBase file, which gives you a dbf and
dbt. I have already done this and now I need to get the information back. I
cannot import these into Outlook 2003.

Outlook can't import dbf files. It allows you to export those files
(Outlook 2003 doesn't have that option, that I can see) so that you can
import them into dBase, not so that you can import them into Outlook.

So nice of Microsoft to remove an option people use, for no apparent reason.
