Contacts to older ver of 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 |

Contacts to older ver of outlook?
Our latest product - ContactGenie Toolkit may be of interest if you can't
get access to a later version of Outlook. One of the 24 functions is a basic export (to CSV file only) and allows you to use a stand-alone PST file (PST version agnostic & standalone = not included in your Outlook profile). You can export your contact data and then re-import the CSV file via the Outlook import wizard into your standard O'XP contact folder.
