Can the same personal folder (pst) be used by both Outlook 2000 and Ou

[KansasUniversity]

Little help here, I seem to remember ablurb somewhere stating that once a personal folder (*.pst) has been opened by Outlook 2003 it will then appear to be a corrupt file to Outlook 2000. Is this true?
Thank you.

I have two workstations available to me at the moment (one XP / Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5703), the other Windows 2000 / Outlook 2000 (SR-1) Corporate. They are both connected to my company's network.

I can open my Archive.pst personal folder successfully via both copies of Outlook.

The only error which I get, is that when I close Outlook on the Windows 2000 PC, the 'Please wait while Microsoft Outlook exits' message does not clear. It stays on screen until I close down / log off the workstation, but this does not seem to cause any other problems.

I hope that this information helps you.
