Office Professional 2000 to Office Standard 2003

[CJS]

I use Office Professional 2000 at home and Office Standard 2003 at work. I'd
like to be able to bring my calendar and emails between home and work but
Professional 2000 does not recognise .pst folders from 2003. Do I need to do
a complete upgrade to 2003 or are there some adjustments I can make in
Professional 2000 ?
Thank you

You'll need to do an upgrade.

Or convert your 2003 .pst file to a 97-2002 style .pst file - that is the only problem, right?

In Outlook, File->New->Outlook Data File->Type 97-2002. Drag and drop your items from the current .pst file to the one you just created.

Caveat - the older file has limitations on size (~1.87 gigs) while the new format has a theoretical limit of 32 terrabyte - practical limit is 20 gigs however.

YOu may want to upgrade your 2000 installation to the newer version rather than downgrading just your .pst file and lose the benefits of the newer file format.
