I currently have Outlook 2007 loaded on to Vista Ultimate. Can I uninstall
Outlook 2007 and install Outlook 2003 with Bus Contact Manager? Why would I
want to do that? ...because I'm not in the mood to shell out another $149
just to get the contact manager 2007. If there was a way to upgrade to
Outlook 2007 w/BCM for say $75 more, I'd do it. The sys requirements for the
2003 software says Win XP Svs PK 1 or better. That may be so but then I may
find out that I can't get any of the old 2007 data to import to 2003 or some
surprise like that? If I can use the 2003 Outlook and pull in a backed up
*.pst file....great. Thanks for your help!
 
Yes, that should work fine. Outlook 2007 and 2003 both use the newer
Unicode .PST file format, so there will be no need to import anything. I
include this for reference only:

Outlook 2003: Reverting back to /Being compatible with a previous version of
Microsoft Office Outlook

Again, the words in this article on .PST file formats will NOT apply because
both 2003 and 2007 file formats are identical.
