opening an archived pst file - Outlook 2000?

........ Must you import a .pst file to access your archived Outlook data? Importing is a
spectacularly bad idea because you must archive everything all over again to get the old
data out of your main Outlook folders. Instead, click File, Open, Personal Folders File
(in Outlook 2002, Outlook Data File), then click View, Folder List to see the entire
folder hierarchy from the .pst archive.


What about for Outlook 2000? I would like to know how to open an archive pst file without
having to download to Outlook current folders.


Thank you

File/Open/Personal Folders.....browse to location of archive.pst

You should see a new instance of Personal Folders added to the tree view. If
you dont something is wrong.
Is it a none unicode pst?, ran scanpst on the archive?

Yes, it does do that however nothing is in the new personal folder.

All I did to create this archive, was in Outlook to export as a pst.
