Default Before upgrading to Outlook 2003, how to handle archive files?

Before I upgrade from Outlook 2002 to 2003, how should I handle the archive
files so that the old archive is combined with the new archive?

You'll need to do nothing. Outlook 2003 will hand;e Outlook 2002 archives
transparently. However, were I you, if I did not have the archives in the
Folder List (i.e., explicitly visible under FileData File Management), then
with Outlook closed I'd simply rename the old archive PSTs and let Outlook
create new ones when next autoarchive runs.

By the way, this brings up another point. Do NOT export or import your
existing PSTs, either before or after the upgrade.
