OL2000 to OL2003 ?
BZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! Wrong.
If the Outlook 2003 file is created in unicode format, it is NOT backwards compatible. The OP would need to create a new .pst file in the 97-2003 style (Ansi) to be compatible with previous versions. Dragging and dropping folders between the new and the old should populate it nicely. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Wrong answer on wrong subject. If the OP just copies and drops the .pst files from 2k into 2003 he should be good to go. Can't remember how long I've been doing exactly that (since 97 or 2k?) Frank

Sorry - do not pass Go - do not collect your $200.
From the original post: Also...can I swap pst files back and forth on a daily basis from my desktop 2000 to/from notebook 2003 You CANNOT swap .pst files back and forth from the two applications if the file formats are different. PERIOD. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.
