That's a good suggestion. I may just give in and upgrade to 2007, although
having tried the beta, I absolutely hate the new user interface.

Then if I were you , I would download a trial version of Office (uninstall
Outlook 2000 first), install the trial, and once Outlook 2007 is up and
running, create the 97-2002 style .pst file and copy it to a safe location.
Uninstall the trial and reinstall Outlook 2000 and open it using Outlook's
File-Open-Personal folders file.

After furious head scratching, Tom Scales asked:

| I have a PST file with all my contacts in it that was created with
| Outlook 2003. That machine is gone now, so I no longer have access
| to Outlook 2003. My machine has Outlook 2000, which won't open the
| file.
|
| I know how to fix this if I owned 2003, but I don't.
|
| Am I just out of luck?

| Thanks,
