Default How do I import an old .pst calendar into new .pst format?

Simply open the .pst file in Outlook, display the calendar by category,
select all, right click drag and drop on the 2007 calendar folder, when you
release the mouse, select move or copy as you wish. No need EVER to import
a native Outlook file.

It's the very first step that I can't do. If I try to open the file from
Outlook I get a message "The operation failed. An object cannot be found."
That;'s what is foxing me.

On a memory stick. I copy the file from my work computer onto my home
computer so I can synchronise with my PDA.

Have you removed the 'read-only" check mark from that .pst's properties?

I have just had a look and the Read Only box was not checked. The Archive
box was checked so I un-checked it, but it made no difference. I still get
the message "The operation failed. An object could not be found".

I have tried all the things suggested in this thread, but to no avail. I am
sure I am missing something, probably something trivial. Can anyone help?
