I am trying to import into my e-mails and contacts into my 2002 MS Outlook
(on my home PC) from a pst file saved from a 2003 MS Outlook (from my prior
Work Laptop). I am getting an error saying my file is not compatible. Joe

Of course you are. The message is correct and is one of the many reasons you
should never use export and import to transfer Outlook data. It provides you
no option for you to control file format.
If you want to transfer Outlook data to an older version, you must create a
data file in "Outlook 97-2002" format from Outlook 2003. You have no options
to convert that data unless you are running Outlook 2003 or higher.
