Is there a way to import a PST created in 2003 into Outlook 2000? I have a
user who moved from one computer to another and they need their email files.
The are using Internet email not exchange.

No, nor should you. Importing is never a good way to transfer Outlook data.
In Outlook 2003 you must create an Outlook data file in "Outlook 97-2002"
format, copy your data into that file, then open that file in Outlook 2000
to retrieve the data.

How do I do create a "Outlook 97-2002" format file in Outlook 2003?
Thanks,
