I have several data files in my Outlook. First how can tell Outlook which
ones to load at start up? It is loading 5 currently, which takes extra time.
I don't use 3 of them on a daily basis.

Secondly, a more major issue, when I try to right click on one of the extra
pst's to close, I get the message: " The operation failed. And object could
not be found."
Same message when I view the properties and try to click on Advanced.

I have moved the contacts and emails out of these and into other pst's so
they can be deleted, which I did. I restored however, when Outlook still
opened them at each startup, and gave me the same error screen when I clicked
on them. At this point I just want to get rid of them, and not have those
pst's open when Outlook starts.

Thanks in advance for any help......

You may have better luck without Outlook questions on
microsoft.public.outlook.

You could create different mail profiles for the combinations of PST
you use.
