Cannot close archive folder

[Ricky Gabor]

Hi
Using outlook 2002 and winXP - A copy of Archive folders has appeared in
outlook's folder tree and cannot be closed.
When I switch to the folder, I see a message "unable to display the folder.
Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location"

Interestingly, I can use file|open|open outlook data file to open the
archive.pst folder that was the original reference for this folder - it
appears at the bottom of the folder tree and works normally (the
malfunctioning folder appears at the very top, above outlook today)

Any ideas as to how I can close the errant folder?

FWIW, also using qurb and Mcaffee antivirus

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Right clicking on the folder does not work at all. I get a dialogue box that
gives the same error message instead of the object-specific menu. It does
work for the working copy.


Another possible hint - in the address bar the working archive folder shows
outlook://Archive%20Folders/

for the nonworking copy it shows
outlook:0000000038A1BB1005E5101AA1BB08002B2A56C200006D737073742E646C6C000000
