Daughter gave me her computer which has Outlook 2003 on it, but it was never
used. I use Outlook 2000 on my old computer.

How do I transfer the outlook 2000 data file from the old computer to the
new computer? Is the data file structure compatible?

Posted here every day. The file you need is your Personal Folders file
(*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
