From the MS Outlook “BackUp PST ea 3-Days Utility� I have a 9.5 MB Data file
NAMED “Outlook Backup� FROM Outlook 2002 /Win Me.
. I SAVED ALL of the Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook folder TOO with
numerous small files included (ie. nk2/outcmd) with the 9.5 MB Backup data
file.
I NOW have Win XP and Outlook 2003. In Tools/Email Accounts / New Outlook
Data File they show the Default 03 PST format NOT Compatible with 02 BUT they
offer a 2nd Choice Format that is. I Clk'd New Data File and created
“Personal Folders 02-03� in the 97-03 Format. When I Clk File/Open/Outlook
Data File I see both the Default Personal Folder and my new 02-03 Personal
Folder. In the Outlook main page viewing pane showing all the Folders I see a
SECOND Personal Folder (has Deleted & Search folders I Did Not create) &
Presume that's the One I Created. I've read myself into a corner with New
Profile, New Data File instructions running together from numerous posts. Any
help really appreciated as to how to move the 02 PST Backup Data to 03
Outlook.

Why would you create a new PST file? That's not what you wanted to do. Why
didn't you just open your Outlook 2002 file in Outlook 2003? It's perfectly
compatible.

Thanks Russ for the Reply. I thought I read where a new Data File had to be
created and it specifically states via Tools/Email Accts/Change existing/New
Data File that the Folder sitting there IS NOT Compatible with 97-02 BUT the
one below it is. That's why the New Folder seemed necessary. Having said
that, what does Open 02 in 03 mean in actual keystrokes? Thanks!

Thanks, Brian. It won't work with 2002, Only 03 & 07.

Right. It does convert an ANSI PST to Unicode, but it needs Outlook 2003 or
2007 to operate. However, there's no need to convert an ANSI PST to Unicode
to use it in Outlook 2003 and you said that you "have Win XP and Outlook
2003". You have no problem.

Brian: Sorry I was out-of-town. DnLoaded Upstart Free. New to XP, a Search
for Outlook.PST was done and I copied the Path. Please confirm that I make
the following Command Line parameter Entry, Copy and paste into RUN, and all
should transfer as Unicode into 2003 Outlook. Many Many thanks.
Upstart C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Craig
Files\OUTLOOK PST BACKUP\Backup.PST C:\Documents and
Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
/E=C
There's a Space between Upstart and C:, between two pats, and between .PST
and /E=C

Brian: Add this to post just made: I put Upstart in C:\Program Files\UPSTART
folder I made. How does RUN know where it is. Instructions say: Just pop the
executable (Upstart.exe) into any suitable directory and run it. Where the
instructions Cmmd Line example Shows the word Upstart, should its Path Be
There, not the word Upstart? These guys don't know that some of us are not
computer geniuses if so. Thanks.

I've never used Upstart, but I know that Peter Maclean will answer your
question if you write to him. His mail address is on his web site. In
fact, he sometimes reads these newsgroups.
