Cannot open pst file after reverting back to Outlook 2003 from 200

[Guest]

My MS Office 2007 trial ended. I uninstalled the suite completely, and then
reinstalled 2003. All programs are functioning fine, including Outlook -
except I cannot open my PST file. I ran the Inbox Reair utility, and it ran
fine and reported that it detected errors and returned a successful repair
result. After launching Outlook (2003 SP2) and try to open the file, I
continue to get the same error message (cryptic code) telling me that I
cannot complete the operation. It then offers to send the error to MS, and
forces me to restart Outlook. Any ideas?

Open the file by what method? Use File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
What is the exact error message?
Did you recreate your mail profile after the downgrade?

I attempted to open the file as you indicate in your response, as well as
tried to add one: Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Oulook Data Files > Add. The
resulting error from either method is always the same: "An unknown error
ocurred, error code 0x80070002". I had not tried to create a new profile yet.
Thanks
