Outlook 2003 should ADD features not REMOVE them.

[Guest]

I bought a new computer. I ordered it with Office 2003 pre-installed. My
old computer is still running Outlook 2000. (1) It seems I cannot migrate my
Outlook 2000 folders and emails to Outlook 2003, and (2) in Outlook 2000, I
was able to share my calendar with other members of my family (an important
feature for my family, as we are care-givers for my 81-year-old mother), but
in Outlook 2003, I apparently cannot share calendars with anyone unless I am
on a Microsoft Exchange email system (which I am not). This means that by
upgrading to the later product, I've lost functionality. Thanks a lot,
Microsoft!

You should be able to migrate your Outlook 2000 folders:

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

There are some ways around the sharing limitations:

Thanks for the info. I've made some progress on this front, but after all
that I've tried, not sure which action did it for me. Thanks again.
