Keeping e-mails when installing 2007
DLGolfs 12/31/2008 3:06:05 PM
I have Outlook 2000 and want to buy 2007 office, how do I keep the contact
list? Is it the wab file and which one? also, how do I keep all my personal
folders and e-mails in them?
It looks like the only version available is the full version so I am afraid
that I will lose everything in 2000.

Will I still lose everything if I use theupgrade?
Any place I can buy the upgrade other than microsoft?
I want to buy the office standard. ty

Your contact list is in the PST (personal folders) file which also contains
your emails, calendar entries, etc. In addition, if you've archived mail it
will be in your archive.pst file. In order to upgrade you'll want to copy
your PST to another location, but do this while Outlook is closed. You'll
have to completely uninstall Office 2000 before installing Office 2007.
There will be a trick to working with the PST from Outlook 2000 and using it
with Outlook 2007 because of the format and version discrepancy.
