You'll have to doublecheck what client you're using. There's no such thing as
Outlook Express 2003, nor does Outlook Express use a PST file. Please check
to see what you're using (Help > About) and clarify.

If your 2003 data file is a *.pst file, that was created in outlook 2003,
Outlook 2002 cannot read it

If you mean Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2002 (XP), then ...

If the PST file is 97-2002 format, then you can simply transfer the file
and open it with Outlook 2002.

If the PST file is 2003 format, then you will need to create a new
97-2002 style PST file, copy (drag-and-drop) all data from the 2003
file, then transfer and open with Outlook 2002.

If your situation is different, then please clarify.
