PST Outlook 2007
A pst folder located on a shared network drive opens on desktop but not on laptop (error unable to expand folder) . The laptop is connected to the LAN via patch cable. The scan pst does not run apparently because the network drive is running out of space (?) Is the pst corrupted, even though it opens on the desktop?

I will retry the scan pst after ensuring the PST on the desktop is closed. Thank you.
PST file is not designed to be located and accessed from network drive. Otherwise, it will be prone to corruption. See http://www.datanumen.com/articles/prevent-pst-corruption.htm

done, closed the pst on a remote pc and retried. Thank you
Log in to the other machine, find SCANPST and run it against the PST file.
As noted above, make sure Outlook is closed.
