How Do I Move Outlook 2003 Archive File from PC to Network Drive

[Mike]

How do I move an Outlook 2003 Archive. pst file from a PC to a network drive
and have the archive maintain it's activie status? I did this about a year
ago, but forgot how I did it.
I checked the MS KB but could not find a KB article on this.

Thanks,

Mike

Anyone figure out how to do this? I'm trying to do the same thing.
Thanks,

Seems to me you can locate the Archive file wherever you want with
File>Archive.

Brian,
The File> Archive method seems to be for setting up new archive
folders. In our case, auto-archiving has been processing for months and
we would like to move the archive.pst file to the network drive with
out any loss or re-creation of data in Outlook. Anyone know how to do
this?

While I don't KNOW this will work (I haven't tried it), it may. With
Outlook closed, move the archive file to the place you want it. Now, start
Outlook and click File>Archive. Browse to the file you just moved, select
it, and click OK.
