Our system at work is secure and I am not allowed to install my PDA software.
I want to be able to occasionally save a file so I can email it home and add
my work calendar to my personal one and vice versa. Is there a specific file
name to look for and where is it kept. Anythng special on how to merge it
with the other computer? Thanks.

Well, I can find the .pst file now, it wasn't in the default location. But it
is 70+ Meg so I take it is all of my mail as well. I am trying to export the
calendar folder only but I'll have to wait until I get home to see if I can
successfully inport it. Thanks.

Do not export or import. If you want to transwfer only the Calendar, create
a new PST with File>New>Outlook Data File. Then right-click your Calendar
and click Copy. Specify the new PST as the destination. When the copy
completes, right-click the new PST and choose Close. Close Outlook.
Transport the new PST to the other PC, place it on the hard drive (in any
folder you want, but don't overwrite another PST), remove the read-only
attribute, and start Outlook. Open the PST with File>Open>Outlook Data
File. Finally, copy the contents of the Calendar you copied to the default
Calendar folder.
 
When I do the below, I first get a screeen for New Outlook Data File and I
select the top one because we have 2003. Then a 'Create or Open Outlook Data
File' window opens up and shows folder Mail with two files ARCHIVE.PST and
Messages.pst. When I try to "Then right-click your Calendar and click Copy."
every where I click I just get a bonk sound. Should there be a file in the
mail file that says "Calendar"? I can't find a file that is just Calendar.
Where do I click on it?
Thanks,

Obviously I wasn't explicit enough. I though you'd figure out how to finish
the new PST creation wizard. Apparently not. I'll add information.

create a new PST with File>New>Outlook Data File.

Browse to whatever folder you'd like or accept the default. Give the new
PST a name or accept the default. Click OK. Give the new PST a display
name (recommended) or accept the default (Personal Folders). You should now
have a new PST showing in the Navigation Pane whose name matched the name
you just gave it.
Then right-click
your Calendar and click Copy. Specify the new PST as the
destination. When the copy completes, right-click the new PST and
choose Close. Close Outlook. Transport the new PST to the other PC,
place it on the hard drive (in any folder you want, but don't
overwrite another PST), remove the read-only attribute, and start
Outlook. Open the PST with File>Open>Outlook Data File. Finally,
copy the contents of the Calendar you copied to the default Calendar
folder.

Is that clearer?
