Eleanor/Larry, Larry's suggestion should help you identify the precise location of the PST file, just remember that you won't be able to copy it with Outlook running, although you can use the other options provided by Outlook in the menu.

HTH Larry & Elliot GD From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 13 November 2010 12:16 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Outlook.pst File I am trying to find this file on my system and cannot do so. Sorry to be stupid. Richard has given me assistance off list but still I hav e not located it. Can someone tell me step by step how to locate it please. I have been in to the C drive and looked through all the folders but have not come across it. Been in to Windows folder and Office folder but still no luck. Then Richard suggested I do a search for it. I did this too but 32 files with the p .pst extension came up. Only one which I knew to be a Microsoft Office one because when I hovered the mouse over it, it said it was a personal outlook folder. However, the size was only about 700 KB so maybe that cannot be right either. Thanks for all help. Eleanor
