  OL2003 pst format is not backwards compatible.
Within OL2003 create new data file, in prev.version. Copy mail to this pst,
it will then be accessable to early versions.

  Thanks for the quick reply DL,
Problem is I don't have Office 2003 on my machine anymore nor the Install
CD, are there any sort of convertors I can use ?

Please let me know,

Regards

  And theres the rub; you will have to find someone with OL2003 to do the
conversion for you
