Any ideas on how to import 2003 calendar to 2007 I have tried exmerge,
copying to PST and copying to new calendar but when I click on anything in
the calendar it locks up the email I can't even scroll in the calendar the
mail works fine just so you don't go to the calendar. Before I imported the
calendar it works fine.

If you had looked through even a couple of days posts in the Outlook
groups you would have seen the importing is NOT recommended.
Why not?

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a
ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Outlook 2003 and 2007 use the same format pst file so there's no need to
do anything. just copy the old pst file to your HDD, (do NOT overwrite
the existing one), remove any read-only attribute and just point outlook
to it.
