I don't believe there is any way to change the format once it's been selected...but, to see which format you are using, go to the File menu and click on Data File Management...in there, click once on your pst file, then click on the Settings button...in there, there's a box that says "Format" and it tells you which format you are using.

Thanks, Mark -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Neil Atwood Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2003 3:27 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Office 2003 The only thing I would add to Linda's comments is that to mix PST files from OL2003 with older versions, OL2003 *must* be set up to use the older-style of PST file format. A fresh install of OL2003 defaults to the new, Unicode format (well worth having, I might add), but the older type can be specified when creating a new PST file.
