OL2003 can utilize a PST format that's unreadable by earlier versions of
Outlook. The new format allows for larger PSTs, etc.

Any particular reason your wife decided on this 'upgrade'?

My wife recently dedeided to upgrade from Office 2003 to Office XP. (Yes,
I
know it is a downgrade)
Unfortunately after doing so we have been unable to open out Outlook
mailboxes or address books.

Is there a compatibility issue ? Or is there some trick that I don't know
of....
