MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2008Windows cannot find archive file
Hello, I wanted to backup my email folders in Outlook 2003 run on WinXP. So, I used the archive tool, and archived my folders to an external HD. The problem is once I disconnect the external HD, everytime you open Outlook- it searches for the archive on the external drive, doesn't find it (as the drive is now disconnected) and keeps popping up this annoying, warning message: "The path specified for the file F:\... \archive.pst is not valid". So some questions: 1. Is the archive tool the right one to be using to backup your email folders? 2. Is there a way to back them up to an external HD that avoids this problem? 3. What do I do to stop that warning message from popping up? Many thanks, Scott This is the best method for backing up and restoring: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm  SignatureKathleen Orland - MVP Outlook Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Many thanks, Scott Thanks, and can you tell me what to do in order to get Outlook to stop looking for the archive I put on the external HD and continually popping up that warning message?
