I agree - we upgraded to 2003 from 2002 and have experienced no problems at all. =20 I would like to hear about how to change to the new PST format though because we haven't done that. How do you do it?

Unless you have current issues with O2000, then you can simply install O2003 over the top (after backing up or course...;-)). After you've done that, you will want to 'upgrade' OL2003 to the new PST format - much more stable - but one step at a time... ;-) ____________________________________ Neil Atwood - Sydney, Australia > -----Original Message----- > From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Renaud, Parker > Sent: Friday, 27 August 2004 4:55 AM > To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [mso] Upgrade to Office 2003 >=20 > We are replacing all of our old PCs this year and the new PCs come with > Microsoft Office 2003 Pro installed.
