Reinstallling Outlook 2003

[jamest]

I am a user of Outlook for a number of years. Recently some problems started
appearing, nothing definitive, just a little weird. I could not import
messages from Outlook Express, where I sent my Outlook data because of the
problems. I know I have to reinstall Outlook. However, I have judiciously
updated my software from Microsoft. Current version I have is Outllok
2003-11.8010.6568 SP2 and I want to know if all of these updates will have to
be done again? For example if I reinstall Outlook will I have reinstall
updates just for that?

Nothing requires you to install updates, but if you reinstall Outlook and
visit Microsoft Update, it will wish to reinstall the updates.

Do not import messages from Outlook Express with Outlook. Instead, use
Outlook Express to export them to Outlook.

Thank you Brian,

The OExpress export function worked like a charm.
