I have two computers one w/Oulook 2003 SP2 and the other w/Outlook 2002. When
I export a .pst file out of 2003 and try to import it into 2002 i get an
error message saying the .pst file is not compatable with 2002.

Yet using settings, under Data File Management indicates the saved .pst file
has a format of:
Personal Folders File (97-2002)
Suggesting that 2003 is saving the .pst file in a format importable into the
older 2002 Outlook

Any suggestions on how to export out of 2003 and into 2002.
 
Any PST file you export from Outlook 2003 will be in the new format, not
Outlook 97-2002 format.
Exporting is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. If you want to
create a PST file in the old format use File > New > Outlook Data File. That
is the only place you can designate the format of the file. Exporting will
not permit you to designate a format.
Once you create the file in the correct format, copy your data into it.
