Hello,

One of the user Outlook.pst is to large, and causes problems. I created a
new Oulook.pst, and I am trying to connect with the old one that has been
renamed. I tried to open in Outlook, but it seems that the file is too
large, and Outlook frozes. At the present time, I still haven't been able to
repair that file.

Is it possible to split a pst file? if yes, how can I do it, as I can't open
it from Outlook.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi - this is a windows XP newsgroup. Outlook questions are best posted to
microsoft.public.outlook.

If you are using OL2002 or earlier (or OL2003 with a non-unicode/new format
PST file) and have hit the 2GB limit (note that problems usually occur
closer to 1.2 - 1.5GB) you will need the PST crop utility to open the file
at all, and you will have lost data:

If the file isn't yet at that size, try to run scanpst.exe (search your hard
drive) against the file. Try it a couple of times. If it doesn't work, you
need the crop utility....
 
You should get more help in the Outlook forum. No, you cannot split a pst
file. Open the large file and clean out and archive old items.
