PST Calendar vs. Network Calendar

[Ernest Maw]

Having a problem with MS Outlook 2003, (and 2000).

I have a local PST file that "now" has a calendar folder. This was not
always the case and I am not sure what I did to create this new calendar
folder.

The problem is that its existence is causing a problem.

My standard practice is to move mail messages to my local PST to open
and work, (the do not download automatically). This includes my Meeting
Requests. In the past, when I opened and accepted a meeting request,
Outlook put this entry into my "network based" calendar. Now it puts
them into the calendar within my local PST.

I've been able to confirm that in the past I had no calendar in my local
PST. Before its existence, outlook would put all meeting requests on my
network calendar as the default. (As a test, I created yet another PST
file (without a calendar folder in it), moved a meeting request to it
and accepted the meeting. From this local PST, it put the meeting on my
network based calendar.)

So my question is:

How can I delete the Calendar folder from my local PST file, so that all
meeting requests that I execute from this file are by default put into
my network based calendar? This is how it use to be and I'm desperately
trying to get back to where I was.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. My ITS folks can not figure this
one out.

Sounds like the delivery location has been set to the PST and not the
Exchange mailbox. See Tools | Email Accounts | View/Change account and then
look at the dropdown at the bottom of the dialog.

For Outlook 2000, the steps are Tools | Services | Delivery tab.

It's not, the delivery location is set to my network in-box (as noted
below). I manually drag "all" messages to my local PST file to work on
them.

So the question is, how do you delete a calendar folder from a local PST
file?
