I suspect there is more you've left out.
Did you do an in place upgrade from Outlook 2000 IMO mode?
If so, my recommendation is even more compelling: Create a new profile!

The only other bit of information I can think of is that when I open
Outlook
I get a dialogue box called Microsoft LDAP Directory with a tab called
Connection Details. Server is "NULL", Port is a 4 digit number, User Name
is
"NULL" and Password is blank. I simply click the "OK" button and it goes
away. Is this relevant? I do not want to use Outlook 2003 as my email
vehicle - I am quite happy with Outlook Express - I am simply using it to
transfer my electronic diary from my work computer to my PDA.

No. Outlook 2000 files are perfectly compatible with Outlook 2003.
There's
probably more to your story than you've told us for you to have developed
this problem.
Create new profile.

Thanks. I used the Inbox repair tool to repair the file - it found 5
errors
and corrected them. However, Outlook 2003 still shut down when I tried
to
open the file. Looking at the other postings here, could it be because
the
file I am trying to open is Outlook 2000, and needs some sort of
"translation" before Outlook 2003 can recognise it?

Yes. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately all it does is make
Outlook fall over and send an error message to Microsoft.

Then 1) click HelpDetect and Repair and 2) use the Inbox Repair Tool
on
the
PST. Importing from a PST is never the way to transfer data into
Outlook.
