Auto Archive not working

[john]

I have Office 2003. I just switched from Outlook express to Outlook.
Everthing seems to work except AUTO ARCHIVE.

I have all MS Ofice & Sytem updates.

I have ran scanpst on orginal pst, backup pst, and archive pst. It said
there were some error on main file and fixed them.

I have deleted backup and archive after repair and re-backed up and re-tried
archive after reruning scanpst and it say file OK.

I looked in recent MS updates and it says Office 2007 SP1 12/12/07 ok
Office 2003 KB943649 12/12/07 ok
Office 2007 KB 936960 sep/22/07 ok
Office 2003 SP3 sep/19/07 ok

I have and paid office 2003.
Why would office 2007 show up?

How do I get Auto Arcive to work?

Archive works on the modified date, not sent/received dates
You dont have any Office trial installed, or the compatilbility pack?

 

[john]

I did install compatibity pack.

I did try offfice 2007 via the internet.

What is modified date?

If you just switched from OE to Outlook and imported your items from OE using Outlook, then all of your modified dates have changed to the date you switched. IOW, you now have nothing eligible for archiving as archiving works on the modified dates of items.

The 2007 update is due to having the compatibility pack, assuming you
uninstalled the trial.

Modified date is the date on which the msg was modified
