I had copied 2 of a client's outlook.pst files to my XP computer running
Outlook 2003, to help with a problem they were having, and now when I go to
close them I get an error message saying "The operation failed - an object
could not be found".

I think this is because I had deleted or moved these 2 very big pst files
from their original folder as they were taking a lot of disk space, without
closing them first in outlook.

Is there a simple way to fix this problem? I can open these archive folders
and read the emails etc. in them, but I just want to close them in Outlook
2003.

This tool fixes the issue:
