I was using Outlook 2003 with an Exchange server account through a university
I teach at. I also had a local PST file in Outlook. I will no longer be
teaching at the school so I want to remove the Exchange account and work only
from my local PST file with Outlook. When I removed the Exchange account I
lost my calendar information which I thought was in my local PST file. I've
since reconnected to the Exchange server and found my Calendar information,
but I cannot get it to move/copy to my local folder.

You should be able to drag it from the Exchange mailbox to a pst. does it
work if you Export?

Thanks ... but you lost me. How do you do that process work? When I tried
to export the file from the exchange server files ... the file lost data on
import to the personal "calendar" folder.

Diane ..

When I click on Calendar, Edit ... the move to folder option is not
hi-lited. I can see it is an option, but I am unable to use it. Thanks

Do you have a calendar item selected? Switch to the By category view (View
menu) then select 1 or more appointments and see if it works.
