Office XP at home. 2003 at work. Want to export calendar home

[chrisd]

When I try to import a .pst file (my Calendar from Outlook 2003 at work) I
get an error message saying the file is not compatible with this version of
the Personal Folders information service. How do I fix this? Do I need to
upgrade to Outlook 2003 at home?

Create an ANSI PST at work. File>New>Outlook Data File>Outlook 97-2002
Personal Folders File (.pst). After creating the file, right-click your
Calendar and drag it to the new PST. When you release the button, choose
Copy. Close the PST with right-click>Close. Close Outlook. Transfer the
PST to the home machine, taking care not to overwrite any PST of the same
name and ensuring that the file is not read-only. Open Outlook and click
File>Open>Outlook Data File. Browse to the PST, select it, and click OK.
You'll now have access to the calendar ot contains and you can open it and
drag-and-drop its contents to your regular Calendar or simply use it in
place.
