Do NOT import, simply open the file using Outlook's File-Open-Outlook Data
File. Ensure the file is copied to the hard drive and any read-only check
mark is removed from the properties page.

Importing will lose data, consistently.

After furious head scratching, CTW67 asked:

| Using newly upgraded Win XP and Outlook 2002, I am unable to import
| to my Personal Folder a file labeled "outlook.pst" but file type
| Office data file. I have tried without success, using DB 287837, to
| convert the Office data file to an Outlook data file, but the
| conversion is not reflected in Win Explorer. Any suggestions?
