Re: importing contact files from work to home "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" <russval[ at ]gmail.com> 20.09.2006 01:13:14 I would suggest posting some information. State what you are doing to get this error message. Clearly you are doing something wrong. Do tell us what. Spare no details for we cannot read minds. Don't forget to include basics, like your Outlook version. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "bkalt61" <bkalt61[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CA769DC2-2188-4CD4-A4A4-6CF266760097[ at ]microsoft.com...

Seems pretty clear to me you're using Outlook 2003 at work and Outlook 2002 or earlier at home and you have a Unicode PST, which Outlook 2003 can read but earlier Outlooks can't. YOu need to create a PST at work that is compatible with the Outlook version you use at home. -- Brian Tillman
