From: Keith G Hicks on 26 Mar 2010 21:37 I'm running OL 2003 on 2 machines right now. My main PC and my laptop. When I'm away I move my pst file over to my laptop and then back to my main machine afterwards. I'm considering building a new machine with W7 on it and either OL 2007 or 2010 (if I decide to wait until that's out). I'm wondering if I'm going to have a problem moving the pst file between machines. Is there some sort of pst compatibility setting (like there is with MS Access that lets you set an mdb to A2k format) that will let you set it to a lower version format but will still work with higher versions. Seems logical as I'm sure there are others who would encounter this issue but it occurred to me that I'd better ask to be safe! Thanks, Keith
From: LD55ZRA on 26 Mar 2010 22:47 Yep. you will need to change the formats of pst files between Office 2003 version and Office 2007 version. I could give you my own steps but since Microsoft has its own way of doing, I suggest you better read this article: <http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/830336> hth "Keith G Hicks" <krh(a)comcast.net> wrote in message news:eC9ed4UzKHA.3264(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > I'm running OL 2003 on 2 machines right now.

From: Keith G Hicks on 26 Mar 2010 23:20 Unless I'm missing something that article says that 2003 and 2007 are the same. It shows how to move between 2003/2007 and 97-2002 versions. So I guess that if I go with 2007 I won't have to do anything regarding compatibility. But does anyone know about 2010? It's in beta obviously and should be out in the next couple of months so I figure someone ought to know.

Thanks. I'll check that out. Are you kidding? Is MS getting away from the usenet newsgroups too? I really dislike the web forums. I know they are fancier but they are so cumbersome to use by comparison!
