Then its best not to post information that could be harmful. Your method can
corrupt an Outlook profile.

I read the thread Russ. All I know is what works for me, it may not work
for others.

Bad advice. You never move an Outlook data file until you have
disconnected it from the profile. Read the thread before you post.

It appears to me if you want to make a "Copy of" your *.PST file just
move it to another directory then Outlook won't see it. I did this with
my Archive file and if I want Outlook to read it, I point OL to that
directory.

I have just noticed that if I right click "Contacts in Personal
Folders", there is an option to Delete it or to Remove it from "My
Contacts". Could you tell me the difference between these two
options?

Chosing Delete should attempt to delete the folder. Chosing Remove
won't attempt to delete the folder but will remove it from the Nav
Pane "My Contacts".section.

If you choose the Folder List vew of the Nav Pane, how many folder
sets do you see?

OK. I may have found the answer. I had copies of outlook.pst in the
application data folder for Outlook that I called "copy of
outlook.pst", "copy 2 of outlook.pst" & 3rd. I thought Outlook only
looked at the one named Outlook.pst.

I deleted the copies & reopened Outlook. It complained that it
couldn't find the server for the copies & then went back to normal.

So I guess if I want copies of outlook.pst (in case I screw something
up), I should rename the extension. Is that right?
