It would help if you state exactly what you did since these instruction
contain options and we have no idea which you chose. If you receive no error message, that means you did not move the PST file to a new location correctly since the profile in question can still find the file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Terri" wrote in message ...

I followed the instructions as I stated and in the bottom paragraph To
Control Panel, Double Click Mail. Show Properties, select the profile that contains the .pst file. Click Properties, Click Data file and click settings. Supposedly an error appears as it states, however no error appears so obviously I did something wrong....what? That is the question. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

I understood your question. I answered it. It told you what you did wrong.
It is up to you to provide the answer to my query since we could have no idea what you did. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Terri" wrote in message ...

I think what Russ was getting at is that if you truly moved your .PST file,
Outlook would have to pop up an error message when it went looking in the old location, since the .PST is no longer there. So start from the very beginning of your process and tell us how you moved the .PST file, where you put it, and how you know there is not still a copy of it in the old location. -- Jocelyn Fiorello MVP - Outlook *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** "Terri" wrote: I followed the instructions as I stated and in the bottom paragraph To Control Panel, Double Click Mail.

Out of curiosity, was your pst file associated with an email account?
