I have office 2000 and would like to upgrade to office 2003 but i am
concerned if my folders and existing email archives will be affected when i do the upgrade. Is there any data loss or chages to my folders when doing the upgrade? The cd i have to perform the upgrade is Office Professional enterprise edition 2003. Thanks |

Upgrading any office app doesnt impact on data, but as with any such PC
procedure you should allways have data backups. OL2003 uses a different pst/data file format, it is apparently more robust and doesnt have the oversize problem. You may find you need to create a new data file (in unicode format) and copy data from your current data file to the new, before setting the new file as the default.

Thanks. When i do the install , will it simply overwrite the old outlook . I
once had outlook express and i did an upgrade which resulted in two email accounts so when someone sent me an email, it would appear in outlook express and outlook 2003 so how can i avoid this during the install?

No it uninstalls old prior to installing new.
Email accounts are held in the registry, not any OL file/setting "jk" wrote in message ... Thanks. When i do the install , will it simply overwrite the old outlook .

Hi jk
You make Outlook your default email client and remove all info from OE\Mail\Properties. This will in essence make only Outlook available for your email -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

You should be able to view your mail (if you configure the account properly) in any and all mail clients you have installed. -- Brian Tillman |
