Converting messages created in outlook 2003 to xp format

[Guest]

I have 2 PCs, one runs Office XP, the other Windows 2003. Messages are
transferred between the two files as a .msg file (on a floppy - it's a bit
slow I know have my reasons). Unfortunately, Office XP will not open
messages created or received on the other computer running 2003. Is there
any way to convert the 2003 files to XP format?

Huh? Do you mean Outlook 2003? Outlook XP should run fine under Windows
Server 2003.

How are you doing the transfer? Do you copy the message from the Inbox and
drag it to the diskette? Do you use Save As? How are you trying to copy
the message back into the other Outlook?
