Office XP error message.



  Rav4
At work our FS department saves all the correspondence of an email down to client folders.

All users use office XP bar one, who uses office 2003.

The 2003 saves the client correspondence which is by email as a .msg format by simply dragging and dropping the message from outlook into a client folder.

When an office XP user tries to open that .msg file they get the following error message.

"The messaging internace has returned an unkown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook."

Now, if I open an .msg with 2003 and save it as a "unicode .msg" format, then the XP office users can open it.

Is there a quick solution to this apart from upgrading everyone to 2003 (expensive) or downgrading that individual user?

Please advice.

Ok semi found a solution.

In outlook 2003 it saves the .msg files in unicode.

Office XP cannot read it.

What I did was the following,

In outlook went to
  • tools
  • options
  • other
  • advanced options
  • untick " use unicode messaging format when saving messages"
Closed outlook (make sure it's off task manager)

Opened it, saved messages then I was able to view them.

Unfortunately around 500 messages are in the incorrect format.

Hope this could help someone,

Gabi.
 
  Better than yours. C*nt.
Downgrade your one 2003 user to XP, much better to have a corporate standard mate... Their 2003 licence will allow this.
