Rules "Improper format"
I have just move from outlook 2000 to 2003. I have copied the pst and
rules.rwz over. My emails, and address book shows fine, however, rules are imported. I have tried it through Rules & Alertsoptionimports and what I get is an Improper format message. Any suggestion?

Rules "Improper format"
What method of upgrading did you use? You don't have to do anything with
data and rules with an upgrade. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Baba" wrote in message ...

Rules "Improper format"
Dear Roady
Thanks for your response. This was a rebuild (drive C was reformatted). All application setting and .pst files were copied to D and copied back after installation of Windows XP and Office 2003. All applications setting including toolbars are working fine. I even see all emails and contacts/address book. However Rules are missing. I do not want to retype the Rules as I literally had more than 1500 of them. Sincerely, "Roady [MVP]" wrote: What method of upgrading did you use?

Rules "Improper format"
An rwz-export from Outlook 2000 can only be read by Outlook 2000.
1500 rules? Surely you're kidding? It's time to revise your rules and sorting structure then. Instead of sorting just by rules also consider using Search Folders, custom views, categories and automatic formatting. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Baba" wrote in message ...
