i think you will find that outlook 2003 pst files are in unicode
whereas Outlook 2000 uses a different format. I'm sure you will nee
Outlook 2003 to open a PST file created by Outlook 2003

Get a new evaluation copy of OL2003 and install it. Within that, create a
new PST in the 97-2002 format. Drag all the otems in the 2003-format PST to
the 97-2002-format PST. Use this latter PST in OL2000. That's the only
choice you have.
