Importing 2000 pst into Outlook 2003 3

[valicon]

I am trying to import an Outlook 2000 pst archive into Outlook 2003. When I do I get an error stating that Outlook has blocked this file. I know in 2000 I would just create a folder and drag the pst archive into the folder and I was done! I know that the pst files are now much different under 2003, anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks

'Normally' you can, in Outlook2003, just click File - Open - Outlook Datafile.
If that works, just drag the items over, copy or move.

Try adding the old pst file instead of importing it.
Go to Tools>Options>Mail Setup> clik 'Data Files'. It gives you option to choose whether you want a pst compatible to earlier version of outlook (like 2ooo/2002), choose this and point to your pst. it should add it properly to your Outlook2003.
Best of Luck!

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.
