synchronize ol2003 w/ ol2000?

[jlbreyer]

I have OL 2000 on my desktop at home and the company has
upgraded to 2003 at work. I used to synch the two
Outlooks using a Handspring PDA. The PDA croaked and I'm
trying to find out the best way to synch home and work.
I don't need to synch mail, but would like to get
Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes.

I expect I'll have to buy something, but what?
I don't need a PDA but would buy a low end unit if that's
best.
If I upgrade my home desktop to OL2003, will that make it
easier?
Is there a good utility to do the operation? Have you
tried it?

Got to be someone out there who has solved this problem.
Can I have some advice?
Thanks, jlb

there are many methods (briefcase is one).
Look here:

Note that the default Unicode format for Outlook 2003 will not open in
Outlook 2000. If the method you use requires opening a PST in Outlook 2000
then it needs to be ANSI.



Other options include using MSN Premium for Calendar and Contact Sharing
provided both machines have Internet access.

It's what I use.

No.

Google for "synchronize outlook" and you'll find lots of utilities.
