Hello, I use photoshop cs2. Are you able to open Indesign files in CS3? I am considering upgrading.

No. As Ed states, they are two different programs with totally different uses.

Now, you can Place PS files (any version of PSD) into InDesign (or AI). I have had a very few problems with recent PSDs, without Compatibility checked NOT opening in InDesign. Folk tell me that this is not an issue between CS3 InDesign & PS, but I cannot check this.

Do your layout work in InDesign and your photo work in PS. Only other option would be, again as Ed states, use a PDF, but it will get rasterized in PS, and will not be easily editable.

PSDs into ID work fine but a couple of things should be noted:

Any text or vectors will be rasterized. If you have a file like that use PDF instead.

There’s also this:

Are you on Windows or Mac? Sounds like there’s confusion on your system as to what application is supposed to open InDesign files – but the solution will depend on the operating system.
