My hard drive failed and I purchased and installed a replacement hard drive
from Del.. I then re-installed, with the assistance of Dell Techincal Support, Windows XP. I then contacted Symantec for assistance in restoring the data which I had backed up to an external hard drive. I do not have the original disks for my verion of Office so I have lost Excel, Word and most importantly Outlook. If I purchase and install a new copy / version of Office will I be able to access my old e-mails, contacts, etc which are stored as .PST files? -- Bond, James Bond

Generally Yes, but the version of Outlook you used and the version of Office
you buy may have some barings "James Bond" wrote in message ... My hard drive failed and I purchased and installed a replacement hard drive from Del..

Thanks. How would I determine which versions of Office was used previously?

Impossible unless you have access to your old hard drive.
To expand, if eg you had Office 2003 & you installed an earlier version then allmost certainly Outlook would not be able to open your previous data file. If buying / installing either 2003 or later there will be no problem. "James Bond" wrote in message ... Thanks.
