Hi Theresa, You should be able to open them, but don't forget that if you use "Save AS" as opposed to simple "Save", you can save in different file formats, including earlier versions.

I've discovered that it's not possible to import Personal Folders from Outlook 2003 back to Outlook 2000, and am wondering what the situation is with Excel files created in Excel 2003. Are there any backward compatibility issues?
