Creating New 2003 Archive

P

PhilipBenno

Hello

I've created a new 2003 archive.pst,I originally had 2 .pst file 1) the
original archive.pst and 2 archive1.pst.I moved all the stuff from
archive.pst old format to archive1.pst new format. After moveing all folders
I deleted the original and renamed the archive1.pst the archive.pst after
shutting down outlook 2003.

Now when I open outlook there are 2 archive folder both with exactly the
same info in. When I try to shut one down I get a message The operation
Failed. An object could not be found Help!!!!!

Yep, that is because the old one was still connected when you renamed it.
That scr*wed up the references and corrupted your mail profile. Always
disconnect before renaming. In order to restore you'll have to recreate your
mail profile. For this see;
