Hello getaways,

Which version of Outlook are you using?  What format of PST file?

In Windows XP, PST file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder.  

In Windows Vista, PST file is located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

It is a hidden file, so you have to unhide hidden files. Open Windows Explorer folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.

Hope this helps!

Thanks war1
I am running Office XP 2002, maybe time for a new version. i am unsure how to reduce the size of the pst  file. Outlook will not let me archive any files. Should i purchase the recovery program as it may do it for me?

I appreciate your help. I was able to save the full archived files to a backup file on the server and then archive outlook in the normal manner.

getaways, glad the problem is fixed.
