Default Can't import my contacts from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2002

Thanks, Karl. So I created a new pst file but when I try to copy my
contacts, it doesn't give me the option to save to the new pst file but
rather just to my existing outlook folders. It doesn't give me the option to
browse to other folders. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Alternative suggestion(s) to buying O'2003 for old machine (in summary form)

#1 - First and foremost - if you just need to "move" contacts from one
machine to another, don't suggest the "importing route"
#2 - On your machine with '2003 - create a new PST file (selecting the
'97-2002 format)
#3 - Copy your contacts to this new PST file
#4 - When done - copy the PST file to the old machine (by CD, network
connection- whatever works)
#5 - Open the PST file on the old machine that has O'XP (O'2002)
#6 - Can now copy/move these contacts to your regular folder or leave as
is - whatever the requirement is

My older home machine has 2002 and won't accept my 2003 contacts. Do I
have
to upgrade to 2003 on my home machine and if so, where is the link to the
download? I have searched all over Microsoft's site to no avail. My home
laptop is quite old so I didn't want to go to 2007. Any ideas out there?
I
have a ton of contacts that I want to get in my home pc and off my work
pc.
Thanks!
