Some Contacts fields missing in .pst file

Dear all,

I archived all my emails, calendar, contacts in a Personal Folders File
(97-2002) a while ago. Then, I "installed" this .pst file on my new Outlook
2003, using the correct settings, (97-2002) that is. I can see my emails and
calendar ok, but I cannot see the field "Notes" in any of my contacts. This
is where you would scribble more details about your contacts. When I look at
"all contact fields", I unfortunately can't see my "notes" under a particular
field. It seems that the information has vanished (Ggg!).

The .pst file is around 1.2G, so I exclude the file size as a potential
problem.

Can someone tell me:
1- What is the field name of those contact notes in Outlook 2000 and 2003 (I
know it sounds trivial, but Outlook 2003 doesn't mention it in its GUI, and I
don't have access to an old Outlook to check myself)?
2- Is there a difference in the way this field is interpreted from, say,
Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003?
3- By the way, has someone seen categories going to "unfiled" for no
particular reason, while moving a .pst file?
4- Finally, how can I retrieve this (important) information?

Many thanks!
 
Please start with a more accurate description of what you did. Archiving is
not the same as backing up data. Contacts are never archived. You included
the term "installed" in quotes. You must have known that term has no
meaning. Your post is completely unclear. Clarify it.
