I have been using my laptop with Outlook 2003 installed. I need to somehow import the Inbox & Sent Items messages into Outlook 2000, which I use on my usual PC.

Is this possible? I've tried it by copying the .pst file to my PC and then File => Import and Export (in Outlook 2000), but I get an error message.

One way is to forward all the 2003 messages to myself, but they'll all show up as coming from me. The other is to install Office 2003 on my PC. But I would just find it more convenient to import the messages if I can. Any ideas?

Use Google, Search for "pfbackup.exe".

Download and install the utility on both computers from Microshaft. It will add a "backup" and "restore from backup" to Outlook "File" menu.

In 2003, backup your data which will create an "outlookbackup.pst" file.

Move the file to the computer with Outlook 2000 and do a "restore from backup" and point it to the file you just moved over.

The Micro$oft download site refers to Outlook 2003, but it works perfectly with 2000 also.

Typical of MYenCroDoller$euroso£t - they avoid mentioning old products, don't they, Martin?

Thanks for the info - that should sort me out OK.

John.
