I'm attempting to move contcts from my office computer (Outlook 2003) to my
home computer (Outlook 2002). I save the file as a .pst, but get an error
message when trying to import into Outlook 2002. Any suggestions?

This answer is posted here on almost a daily basis.
You must create a PST file in "Outlook 97-2002" format for it to be
compatible with earlier versions. That dialog is available only with File >
New > Outlook Data File...

Thanks, Russ - I think this will work.

P.S. - My grandmother was a Valentine (Chicago)

Must have been a brave soul. Chicago has always scared us after that St.
Valentine's Day thing.
