Do you have an Exchange server? If not I'd guess the problem is that he's
got an Outlook 2003 PST file which Outlook 2002 can't read. But Outlook
2003 can read Outlook 2002 PST files.

Of course neither of you can share those files simultaneously -- by which I
mean that he can't access your PST file while you're using it. PSTs aren't
designed to be shared that way.

If you have an Exchange server then they shouldn't be using PSTs. Move all
that stuff into their Exchange mailboxes and set the permissions on the
folders in Exchange. Then everybody can share with everybody. (or at least
everybody you give permissions to)
