I posted this question to a reply that Neo had offered another user below as
well...

I have a similar problem. I have a 97-2002 pst file that somehow grew to a
little over 2GB. The last email received had an attachment that I think
pushed the file over the edge. I tried to create a new file to drag/drop
some of the files from the >2GB file into, but the >2GB file, being that it
is >2GB won't let me (my theory anyways).
I've upgraded to Office 2003 Small Business at his point. But now an error
pops up that tells me the old file is >2GB and that I need to shift+Del some
stuff to reduce the file size. I can't get the thing open, how can I delete
anything from it?!?
Before I upgraded to 2003, I could at least open the file to a point where I
could see everything in the file. I tried to delete things but Outlook would
just freeze up.
I tried to import the old file into a new 2003 file but the same "file's too
big" error appeared.
Is there any way to open the old >2GB file just long enough to delete a few
attachments in order to get the size down to <2GB?. The actual size is
2.097GB.
 
Outlook stops responding when size of pst file increases by 1.8G.. Here try
to connect this pst file in offline mode and then transfer mails of this pst
file to some other pst file with network disconnected ..
