Default Using Outlook pst file from 2003 on 2000

Importing is not a good idea to begin with. It can cause less issues if a
PST is opened and items are copied over.
Outlook 2003 can use a different file format to Outlook 2000 so it depends
on what file format you are using for Outlook 2003.
To be safe, I'd create a new PST in Outlook in the older ANSI format
(there's an option for the older format), copy items to that and transfer
that file over, open it in Outlook 2000 and copy items over. You might need
more than one PST in the older format if your current outlook 2003 PST is
greater than 2 Gig.

I have Outlook 2000 on my laptop and Outlook 2003 on my Desktop. I want to
know if I can import the pst file from my desktop (which came off of
Outlook 2003) into Outlook 2000?

Thank you

Frances
