Outlook 2003 import and export function

We have a lot of users with old PST format(97), some users had 25 PSTS
attached. I want to get script to migrate all old PSTs to new format at once.

Do you have any recommend book to talk about using VBA to using Outlook2003
built-in function (import or export) ?

I see. If you want to start writing your own code, these samples will give you the basics involved:

http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=962
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=628
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=646

On the other hand, perhaps having the users do their own File | IMport and Export work would convince them that maybe they don't actually use all that data they have hanging around.

You can also use the tool from http://www.pstupgrade.com to convert outlook 2000 pst files to outlook 2003 pst file format
