Thanks, Milly, for your reply. Now, though, we've (hehe) got more
problems...

I ran iHex to reduce the size of the Outlook.pst file to 1.89 Gb,...
then ran Scanpst,... it says it worked.

When I start Outlook 2000, it says there are 26,002 items in a
newly-created "Lost & Found" folder. All other folders are empty. And
there are 52 "Recovered Folder 8123" sub-folders (each with a different
number) under the "Lost & Found" folder. Those 52 are empty.

When I click on the "Lost & Found" folder to see the contents, it says
it's Unable to display the folder, There are errors, Run the Inbox
repair tool. I did that again... same results.

What can I try next, Your Guru-ness?

Thanks very much for any help.
