Don't import, it will probably cause a corrupted profile. Outlook 2003 will

then COPY everything into the new, unicode file.

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

Per msft instructions - I am trying to convert a non uni-code pst file
(outlook 2000 with 2gb storage capacity) into a uni-code (outlook 2003
20gb storage capacity) pst file. They recommend creating a new data
file and then import the files from the previous pst into the new data
file. I do this, it appears to work, but at the end it generates an
error that reads "Operation Failed". Any ideas?


Hal this is a good articel if I am wanting to keep my original non-uni
code pst file and use it in outlook 2003. However this doesnt increase
the size limit of the original pst to the new 20gb limit. All this does
is allow me to open the old pst in the new app. The reason we upgraded
was for the increased size limit. I cannot find utilities to convert an
old pst to the new format (non-uni to uni). I tried to copy into the
new file and get the top-folder error. Im stumped!
