Inbox Repair Tool?

[Ergobob]

Hello,

My inbox got corrupt somehow and I ran the Inbox Repair Tool on it. That
seemed to work but it happened again about one hour later. Now when I try to
run the Repair Tool it scans the inbox but when I hit Repair it freezes and
I have to do an End Task. I tried this several times with the same result.

Running WinXP SP2 with Outlook 2002.

Does anyone know what I might try to get this back in shape?

Thanks,

Bob

It is over 1 gig. Quite large but I am not sure what to do about it.

I just discovered that if I rename the outcmd.dat file, Outlook does open.
But then if I try to open a large folder it crashes again. I wonder if I
should autoarchive to make the file smaller? Also, I need to make my C
partition larger - it only have 250 MB free. This could be the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob
