I need to be able to programmatically write over the information store name
(i.e. Personal Folders, Archive Folders, etc.) written (I believe) inside the
PST file? Does anyone know the byte offset for this info? Its not stored in
ASCII viewable format in the PST file as I've searched for it.

Do you mean you are trying to rename a PST store?
PST filee format is not documented. On the MAPI level, all you need to do is
modify the PR_DISPLAY_NAME property of the corresponding IMsgStore object.

I guess I'm not up on the exact termonology but its the name that is
displayed in the View/Folder List pane or can be set under the Properties of
the PST, Advanced button.

Can I reference the MAPI libraries without Outlook installed? I ask because
this would be done on a server where we would not want to install Outlook.

Yup:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...f31-079a-43a9-

is a standalone install of ExMAPI.

I've not tried this myself, but it might be what you want:

Super, I'll take a look at this. Thanks for the help.
