Are Outlook 2003 .pst files different than Outlook Small Business

[Guest]

I'm pretty sure I've figured out how to merge my (2) .pst files and make them
(1) mobile file. However, in the process I took a 2003 file and imported it
into a 2003 small business file. Now when my 2003 tries to open the 2003
small business file, I get an error message.
Are the (2) different 2003's that much different? 2003 and 2003 Small
Business?

As far as this issue is concerned, Outlook 2003 is the same program, regardless of what SKU you installed in from.

You didn't say what the error is.

I'm not at that machine right now...the error was something to do with
information services...could this be and encrytion problem, or a .net issue?

It's not worth speculating about, since you didn't post all the details.

Well thanks anyway...I figured it out...I created a new 2000 .pst, then
imported the 2003 small business .pst and saved it. When I takde the
external HD back to my other machine it works fine. I think it had something
to do with encryption.
FYI - My outlook file is completely mobile now. I can open and run it from
any PC that has oulook 2000 or 2003. All I have to do is, through the
control panel, designate my external HD .pst as the default location for
outlook tolook for it's .pst file.
