And copy your items from your damaged pst-file to the new one. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- 'M.

'Not there' apparently meant the path that I mentioned on the hard drive. The file MUST be in the.cab file because that is where it comes from during the install. So get it from the.cab file.

MS Outlook users with a significant amount of experience using the application have probably found the need to use the Inbox Repair Tool scanpst.exe to deal with a damaged or corrupt PST file. Because all of the user’s data that Outlook needs to function properly is stored in the PST file, it is very susceptible to damage when Outlook is not closed properly. Most of the time, the Inbox Repair Tool scanpst.exe is able to quickly resolve the problem and restore complete functionality to Outlook. When this is not the case, the user is often shown an error message like: Scanpst.exe error Sometimes the reason for this error message is a PST file larger than 2GB. The Inbox Repair Tool is not designed to handle PST files larger than 2GB even though current versions of Outlook can work with PST files as large as 20GB. Severe damage to the PST file will also result in the error message.
