Opening it shouldn't ask you what file type you want it to be. Only creating a new PST file should ask you that question.

I'm going to try 2007 next and see if I can cause a 'conversion'...

What version of Outlook are you working with now? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 1:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Old PST files needing help Crossposted, looking for a solution... I need some advice about some old PST archive files we have (made under E2K3). They're archival files, around a gig or so in size, but that's not a problem. But I've discovered that we had run up against the 16,383 item limit to a PST. So I can search these old files with various search tools, but I only get maybe half or a third of the messages that are in the file, the remainder (beyond 16,383) just disappear out of the index. With the new features available in OL2K7 and the new PST file architecture, is there anything I can do to get the 'lost' data out of these old files?
