Importing contacts from 2003 to 2000...
I have a customer who has 3 computers they work on between home & 2
different companies they own. They would like to have the same contacts on all 3. The trouble is that one of them is running Office 2000, while the other 2, including the one with the "master" contacts, are running Offie 2003. I'm getting an error message when trying to import or open the pst file in Outlook 2000. How can I do this? Thanks-

Without knowing the exact error message, it's tough to say. My guess would
be that the "master" PST was created using the newer PST format and Outlook 2000 is unable to read it. -- John "Mikey" wrote in message ups.com...

Importing contacts from 2003 to 2000...
One of the many reasons you never use export or import to transfer Outlook
data. Outlook 2003 will create a file incompatible with earlier versions. You must create a compatible PST file and copy the contacts into it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Mikey" wrote in message ups.com...

Or if you want to use export/import, do it with a CSV file.

Thanks-
Creating a new 97-2002 compatible pst file did the trick. I copied addresses to that & then copied from there to Outlook 2003. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... Oh, ick.
