I have Microsoft Office 2000 on my notebook. I have Microsoft Office 2003 on
my new desktop. I use Outlook for all my e-mail & scheduling. I normally
export my file to a Personal Folder file (.pst). My Outlook 2000 can not open
the Outlook 2003 (.pst) file. Is there a way for 2000 to open a 2003 file? Is
there a way to save the 2003 file in a 2000 format?

An OL 2003 unicode pst cannot be opened in any other version of OL
In OL2003 create a new pst in 'old' format (File>New>Data File) Then copy
data from the unicode pst to it.
NB The use of Import/Export for a pst is often not advised as it can lead to
data loss, be aware that the old format pst has a size limitation of 2gb,
and often problems can occur from 1.6gb, leading to a corrupt / unuseable
pst
There are various tools for syncing a same format pst

The use of Import/Export for a pst is often not advised as it can lead to
data loss, explains why I have lost a few files.
If the .pst is not a good way to export, transfer, and save; how should I
get my data out of outlook?
What are the various tools for syncing a same format .pst?

Thanks

Create a new PST in Outlook and copy the data you want to save to it. You
can make this an Outlook 97-2002 PST if you need to transfer it to an
earlier version. In the other Outlook, just open the PST.
File>Open>Outlook Data FIle (or Personal Folders File).
