i've exported some msg files from a clients PC (outlook 2003) and tried
openning them on my PC (outlook XP) and it won't allow them to be openned!

I would have thought i would be able to do this i wouldn't expect i would
have to upgrade an email application to open an email!

might have a look at firefox to see if it can import 2003 files....
 
Outlook 2003 uses UNICODE format while Outlook 2002 uses the ANSI format.
Create a new 97-2002 (ANSI) pst-file in Outlook 2003 and move the messages
in there.
