Outlook 2000 & 2003 / PST's
If I HAD Outlook 2000, and then upgraded to 2003, should the PST file
convert to 2003? Or does it stay as 2000 (i.e. max size 2GB) and thus I have to create a new one... Thanks in advance

You have to create a new PST in the new format.

I've never seen importing lose data, but it ignores custom views, rules, and forms. If those are important to Ivan, he can keep using his original .pst file in Outlook 2003.

I'd define data in this case as visible items, since that's what users see and are most concerned about, especially in the scenario that the original poster described. The informaton that gets lost consists of hidden items that most users would classify as configuration settings, not data.
