Hello

Don't know if I was doing something wrong but I copied a pst file from
Outlook 2003 to a machine running Outlook 2000 and it complained that data
file was not compatible or something.

Is this normal for newer version pst files to not be compatible with earlier
version Outlook?

Of course. That's been exhaustively documented.
If you want to create a PST file that will be backwards compatible in
Outlook 2003, you must do so expressly.
File > New > Outlook Data File > Outlook 97-2002
