I up graded from XP to Office 2003 and somehow or other in my inexperience I
have now two calendars-- Calendar 1 which is new and which contains nothing
and Calendar 2 which is my old "XP" calendar with all my appointments etc.
How can I combine the two or how can I make Calendar 2 my default one.
regards

If I were in your shoes, I'd create a new PST, make it my delivery location,
then copy everything in the old PST to the new PST, finally closing the old
PST when finished.

Assuming you're using Outlook with a Personal Folders file right now (POP
account) and not an Exchange account, in Outlook, click FileNewOutlook
Data File, then click OK. Browse to the folder where you'd like the PST
storedor accept the default. In the "File name" field, enter a file name
for the PST or accept the default. (Note: I'd give it a name of my
choosing, since probably there'll be another PST in the default folder that
already has the default name.) Click OK. Give it a display name (in the
"Name" field) or accept the default. (Note: I'd change the name so that it
doesn't conflict with the name of the existing PST.). Click OK.

You'll now have another PST showing in the Navigation Pane's Folder List
view. It will contain only a Deleted Items folder and it will be named what
you chose for the display name. To make it your delivery location, so that
its folders become the default folders, click ToolsE-mail AccountsNext.
In the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location" drop-down at the lower
left, select this new PST and click Finish. Stop and restart Outlook.

Your new PST will now show as the mail folder set and Outlook will have
created all the default folders for you. They'll be empty. Your old PST
will show in the Folder List as well and will probably be called "Personal
Folders". Now, for each folder in your old PST that is NOT a default folder
(i.e., Calendar, Contacts, Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Journal, Junk
E-mail, Notes, Outbox, Sent Items, Tasks, and Search Folders), and either
right-click each in turn and drag them to the root of the default folders,
choosing Copy when you release the button, or select the folder and click
EditCopy and choose the root of the default folders as the destination.
This process will add the folder and its contents to the new PST.

For all the folders (listed above) that ARE the defaults, open each in turn,
select all the items in it with CTRL-A and click EditCopy to Folder,
specifying the default folder where they should go. For the old Calendar
folder, you'll have to choose a table display in order for CTRL-A to select
everything. When each of the old default folder contents have been copied,
the new defaul folders will be a clean folder set. You can then right-click
on the root of the old PST and choose Close to remove it from the Navigation
Pane.
