"Section from a Different Version of OneNote and Cannot Be opened"

[Eric]

I accidently deleted my entire documents folder (yeah). But successfully
recovered it, so I thought. One Note will not access my notebooks and gives
me the error I quoted in the Subject line.

My installation of onenote is Beta 2, and has not changed.

Is there any solution or possibility to recover my data.

BTW, I tried openeing the notebooks in 2003, but it rejected those as well.

Eric,

I don't have a solution, but I ran into a similar problem with OneNote 2003.
One day the section would not open and gave the same error message. There
were no "new" OneNote installs, so the version should be the same. I searched
for a short period and found no solution. Did you find a way to fix this? I'm
assuming the same fix will apply to 2007 and 2003 versions.

I did not fix the problem. I was just using ON 2007 to test, so I didn't
loose too many notes. I'm back to using 2003, but am a little wary of it not
saving data in a standard format that can be opened in a text editor or other
software if necessary.

CoyB-

I tried 2007 beta too, found it to be really slow in every aspect compared
to 2003. The only feature I liked was the synch with Windows Mobile, however
my phone will not support the latest version of WM, so the OneNote mobile
portion is useless until I upgrade to a new WM5 phone.

As for opening text in another program, can't you just cut and paste the
area of interest?

compared to 2003.

To me it seems that you just not use it long enough.
It needs a bit more RAM. But it's ways ahead of ON 2003 under so many
aspects that I really cannot understand that anyone might want to
return to the - more or less premature 2003 version.

Same problem. Onenote won't open my older notebooks. Did you ever find a solution?

Rob shared these words of wisdom:

Could you pls be a bit more specific?
I can not see to which problem "same" might refer.
