Getting this error message when I try to archive:

You are attempting to archive your data to a Microsfot Outlook 97-2002
Personal Folders File (.pst) whish is a non-Unicode data file. To preserve
multilingual data, you must choose a Unicode data file, such as the
Microsoft Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst).

I have a new computer, and have copied my data from old to new computer. I
copied the archive mail folder to new computer. I was running Outlook 2002
on the old computer, have Outlook 2003 on new computer. Do I need to import
the old archive pst file to Outlook in the new computer, then set up a new
folder for the archive pst?

Thank you for your help in advance!

It's not an error but an informational message ;-)

You can choose to archive to a new pst-file in the Outlook 2003 format. To
create a new file use FIle-> New-> Outlook Data File...

After new data file is created, do I have to import archive pst from older
Outlook?

You don't have to but if you want a single archive file then you can do
that. For more control you can do a manual move of the folders.
