Hi Everyone,

Not so much a problem, more a matter of satisfying my curiosity!

In a network of 8 PCs all running Windows XP Professional, I have suggested
to everyone that they periodically locate and save (to the Server) their
Outlook.pst files for use in the event of a total disaster with the own work
station.  All was well until one person was unable to find the file using
the XP Search facility.  The file exists in the normal location (Documents
and settings>user>Local Settings>ApplicationData>Microsoft>Outlook) so can
anyone explain why it could not be found?  I have selected 'Show hidden
files and folders' which I thought may have obstructed the search.  (This
particular PC is using Outlook 2002 SP2 and XP Service Pack 1).

Thanks for any comments anyone may have,

Roger
