This probably won't help at this point but... I have Outlook 2007 and 2003
on my system. The system can dual boot eithr XP or Vista. What I did is
take my very old .pst file and point both Outlook programs to that file as
the default data file. Works like a charm as I can open that .pst file in
either OS as well as send and receive email through the account. Also the
two OS's use the same contacts and calendar.
FWIW
