MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2007Outlook 2000 - trying to import calendar pst
It used to work - now it doesn't! I export my calendar from my works account in pst format (outlook97). When I try to import into my outlook 2000 account at home I get the following error:- Properties for this information service must be defined prior to use clicking OK the gives the message that the file xxxxxxxxxxx could not be accessed I am stumped - the only difference I can see is that the file is now quite bigger than it used to be - now 22,386kb How do I define properties prior to use? What can I do to correct the problem? Thanks in advance > It used to work - now it doesn't! I export my calendar from my works > account in pst format (outlook97).

It often leads to problems. Instead, just copy the original OL 97 PST to the other machine and use File>Open>Personal Folders File to open it. Open the calendar folder, display it in a table view, select all the items with CTRL-A, then click Edit>Copy to Folder and specify your default calendar. Right-click the added PST and choose Close.

If so save to your HDD, (do NOT overwrite any existing pst file), and remove any Read-Only attribute. then follow Brian's instructions. Thanks Gordon and Brian. Followed both your advice and it worked. Now, don't know whether to start a new thread, but I now have duplicates which on this occasion was not too onerous to manually delete using various simple techniques. Don't suppose you guys know of an easy way to get rid of these duplicates. Using the methods you advise I suspect, this will be a growing problem. > > It used to work - now it doesn't!
