Switching from Exchange Server to a local .PST file

[Jonathan Zingales]

I was using Outlook 2003 with an Exchange server account through a university
I teach at. I also had a local PST file in Outlook. I will no longer be
teaching at the school so I want to remove the Exchange account and work only
from my local PST file with Outlook. When I removed the Exchange account I
lost my calendar information which I thought was in my local PST file. I've
since reconnected to the Exchange server and found my Calendar information,
but I cannot get it to move/copy to my local folder.

You should be able to drag it from the Exchange mailbox to a pst. does it
work if you Export?

Diane:

Thanks ... but you lost me. How do you do that process work? When I tried
to export the file from the exchange server files ... the file lost data on
import to the personal "calendar" folder.

And you lose data when you use Edit, Move to folder?

Diane ..

When I click on Calendar, Edit ... the move to folder option is not
hi-lited. I can see it is an option, but I am unable to use it. Thanks

Do you have a calendar item selected? Switch to the By category view (View
menu) then select 1 or more appointments and see if it works.
