Robert: I opened my 2000 PST in 2003, after a few problems and crashes. The trouble was that Outlook 2003 needed its mailbox-designated PST to be a 2003-format PST. So I had to start with a dummy, empty 2003 PST, open my 2000 PST after Outlook was up and running, then copy the contents from the one to the other. Not really a huge effort, but a nuisance. Everything seems fine now, though.
