How to compress the calendar size which is around 43MB without losing any
historic data? Please if anyone knows to do this, provide a workaround
solution.

I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.

Thanks and Regards,
Vidya

You can try compressing the entire .PST file (go into its properties and look
for the Compact command)...or you can archive some of the older data to
another file which you can open at any time. See

of articles about archiving and how it works.

Thanks for the link and suggestions.

Guess this is the only option available as its the highest suggested
workaround.

In my opinion, archiving is something that every Outlook user should do on a
regular basis. Not only does it keep your main .PST file down to a
reasonable size, but the historical data is so easy to access whenever you
need to.
