When I do something dumb, I always am grasping at
straws to figure out how to recover without losing any
of my precious data.  That's the mode I was in, trying
to give advice (even though I don't know how Outlook
stores messages.)  I was hoping that Linda could
take my advice and use it to get to the next step
(whatever that may have been) in order to get back
her deleted data.

So it was part wishful thinking and part desparation
that caused me to offer advice.  She did say she
found some outlook.xxx mysterious file so I (as well
as others on this list) were hoping that recovery was
possible although none of us wrote any sure fire
method.

The bottom line is that you are 100% correct Greg,
but it doesn't stop us from at least giving it a try.
