Convert Outlook 2000 PST to Outlook 2003

[Mark Frye]

I have been using Outlook 2000 for several years for my e-
mail and contact info (Win 2000Pro_. Just purchased new
laptop with WIn XP and Outlook 2003. How do I move my
current Outlook 2000 e-mails and contact info to Outlook
2003? Thanks...

Copy the .pst file to the new laptop and use File->Open in Outlook to see
your files.

Or (my preferred method), you can delete the new .pst file created by
Outlook on the laptop, then open Outlook and when it complains, just point
it to the copied .pst file. Note: you do not have to place the file in any
"default" directory - you can put the .pst file anywhere you want. I put it
on a second hard drive.
