Can a pst file be opened?
A customer has tried to open a pst file and has encountered an error message
about adding non-Unicode store to his profile. Is it safe to open this pst file? Thanks

Yes, nothing bad will happen if he opens it, but he will incur data loss if he tries to move items from a Unicode store into it.

It's always safe to open a PST in Outlook. Apparently you're using Outlook 2003 and trying to open an Outlook 97-2002 PST which doesn't support Unicode. Was it an error or a warning? -- Brian Tillman

How will the user know if an e-mail has Unicode?

Foreign character sets, for example.
Best practice would be to migrate the content of the old .pst file into a new .pst using the new format. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "havenlad" wrote in message ...
