How do I import .dat files from Outlook backup?
I have back-up files from Outlook 2000. They are not .pst files but are .dat
format and the import wizard for Outlook 2003 won't open them because they aren't .pst format. The file is 2 GB so I am certain this is my Outlook back up. How do I convert the .dat files to .pst format or atleast get Outlook to recognize them?

How do I import .dat files from Outlook backup?
No version of Outlook has ever created .dat files as data files. Maybe you have a backup file created with some backup software and you need to run that software to extract files from the backup?
