Default How can I open an Outlook 12 pst file from outlook XP

I tried out Office 12 but didn't like it. I loaded in ofice xp and cannot
access the emails I received when runnning outlook 12. Is there a way to
open the outlook 12 pst file without uninstalling and reinstalling both
programs?

Default How can I open an Outlook 12 pst file from outlook XP

Outlook 2003 introduced a new .pst format that is not compatible with earlier versions. You'll need to install that or a later version, create a new .pst file in the Outlook 97-2002 format, then move all the items into that new file.
