If you have a pst file that has exceeded the 2GB limit, it will still
not work if you open it in a newer version of Outlook. Outlook 2003 was
the first version that allowed you to exceed the ANSI 2GB limit, but
that is only for new type pst files created by Outlook 2003. If you
imported a pst file created in an older version of Outlook, it is still
bound by the 2 GB limit. You must create a new pst file in Outlook 2003
and then import the old pst file data into it.=20
When you create a pst file in Outlook 2003, it gives you two choices.
You can create an "Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst)", which
is a Unicode file or an "Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders File (.pst)",
which is an ANSI file. If you choose the Unicode file, the default limit
is 20GB, but you can increase that substantially by making changes to
the registry. Microsoft does not recommend an increase above 20GB
because performance will decrease.=20

No, I have never tried to open a 2000 pst in 2007, if that's what you
are asking. In theory, though, it *should* work, but I would never
recommend someone spend money on 2007 just to see if it works. If the
pst is not opening in 2000 becuz it's too large, then yes, it should
open in 2007 ...
however, if there's another reason why the pst isn't opening in 2000,
then it might not open in 2007 either.
Since Robert never told us what the size of the pst is and he also never
told us if he was able to run it thru the Inbox Repair Tool, I have NO
idea if the pst is too large or corrupt, or what.

Sorry, I don't know. I haven't actually tried to do it. (Hence the
"might"
in my previous message.)
Has anyone else done this?
