Archiving in Outlook 2002

[Safetysmith]

My archive.pst file is full and I want to keep all of it. Can I create a
second archive.pst that piks up from where the first one leaves off?

Thank you.

Close outlook, rename your archive.pst, and it should automatically make
a new one. Then go into your options and look for Data Files, and add
the renamed archive.PST

Though, I haven't heard of a PST getting "full" unless you are using
FAT32 and your archive.pst is 4GB

Where have you been? The poster said he's using Outlook 2002. The PST
"fiils up" at 1.8 GB for that version.

Interesting, I've never heard of that till now. I'll have to go digging
and find out the file size limits of the various versions of office

Thanks for the news!

Every version of Outlook from Outlook 97 through 2002 have had this
limitation. It's only been since Outlook 2003 that the limitation was
lifted when using Unicode PSTs. The 2GB limit still affects ANSI PSTs no
matter what version of Outlook you use.
