Under Office XP and below, the user can archive old messages in the
archive.pst created with an earlier version of Outlook.
It appears that this is no longer the case.
I tried to archive old messages to an archive file create with Outlook
97. This worked in Outlook 97, Outlook 2000 and Outlook XP. When I
tried this with Outlook 2003, I got an error message that Outlook 2003
was unable to use the *.pst since it support unicode.

I wonder if I have to convert the archive.pst to an Outlook 2003 file
format.
Since I use the same.pst file for Outlook XP, it will be a long time
before I convert.
 
Why not just retire the old archive.pst file and start a new one? You could
rename the old one to indicate it was used with Outlook 2002 and earlier,
and then have Outlook 2003 create a new Unicode format archive.pst. You
will still be able to open the old archive file using File | Open in
Outlook.
