Can I convert an Outlook Data file to a text file?
I have Outlook 2002 on my PC. My data file was copied from Outlook 2003.
When I try to open the file I get an error message "... not compatible with this version of the Personal Folders information service. Contact your administrator."

There is nothing you can do with this file with a version of Outlook earlier
than 2003. You'll need to use Outlook 2003 or higher to create a PST file in the older version, then copy the data from this file into the file in the older version. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Peggy" wrote in message ...

Can I convert an Outlook Data file to a text file?
It's best to convert it to an ANSI format on the outlook 2003 computer, but
if that is not possible, one of the tools on this page might do it: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ansi-to-unicode.asp -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Is there a way to conver this file into a "readable file" such as in notepad
so I can manually obtain the information? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: There is nothing you can do with this file with a version of Outlook earlier than 2003.
