Xfer Contacts/address new to old outlook
First Off I am a hardware geek
now that that is out of the way Problem Description: Because of bing layd off, i put my "contacts" list onto a CD in hopes that i could use those contacts on my home system (to drum up a new job). However I get the error that "Outlook cannot open this message, a newer version, such as Outlook 2003 or later, is required to open this message. It appears that the contact list is from a newer version of outlook than I have here at home. The outlook I have installed at home is: 2002 (10.6838.6845) sp3 However I typically use outlook express 6 6.00.2900.5512 (xpsp.080413-2105) and would like to get the contact list from work into express. Is there anyway to get this list, (Each file is a *.msg file) (or even open them) into my home version of outlook, or express? I do not have access to the outlook version that exists at my old employment. I had assumed that a contact list from outlook would import into outlook at home, and now it is preventing me from contacting possible job contacts. Because I assumed that outlook could talk to outlook, I did not print or make written copies of these contacts. Operating System: Windows XP |

Since Outlook has no such thing as a "Contacts list" one must wonder exactly
what you put onto the CD, hardware geek. Do tell us. It would make it much easier to figure out what you did wrong. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Shortcircuit" wrote in message ...

Outlook Express is a completely different program from Microsoft Office
Outlook. Also, Outlook 2002 does not support Unicode formatted msg-files. That change was first introduced in Outlook 2003. What you can do is to install the trial version of Outlook 2007 so you can open your saved msg-files and place them in Outlook. Then use the import feature of OE to transfer them. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Shortcircuit" wrote in message ...
