Restoring an archived (pst) file in Outlook 2003

[DarrenW]

I am trying to restore an archived file in Outlook 2003. When I do so using
the import or open outlook data file menu options. Outlook shows the archived
file to be empty despite the size of the file indicating that this is not the
case. Does anyone have any idea how I can get access to these archived emails
when Outlook thinks the file is empty? Thanks in advance or your help.

Never use import. Only use open. If you open this file and it is indeed
empty, you need to provide information on how you created this file and make
sure you are using a view that will show the file's hierarchy correctly
(i.e., Folder List view).
