Are you absolutely set on using a batch file to backup your PST file? If not, download this file from the Microsoft website - http://office.microsoft.com/Downloads/2002/pfbackup.aspx Its a add-in that can be configured to backup your PST file as often as once a day, to a location of your choosing. I've used it in Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002 without a problem. Regards, Corey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Victor A.
