I recently bought a new computer. How do i transfer contacts from Outlook
2000 to 2003 on different machine. I've tried exporting but not all the data
carries over.

Just copy and reuse the Outlook Data File, or at least open it in the new
version and copy what you need from it.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
