Path and name of .pst-files

[Markus Jakobi]

Hi all,

is there a way to find out the path and filename of the currently used
..pst-file ("Outlook Today") with VBA? Version installed is Outlook 2000.
What I mean is the path and filename that is displayed under Properties ->
Advanced -> Path.
I'm also looking for a way to find out the path and name of the "Default
archive file" (Tools -> Options -> Other -> AutoArchive) with VBA.

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot --
Markus

Any PST file's path can be hacked from the store's EntryID. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=680 for sample code.

The default AutoArchive file is stored in the Windows registry as part of the mail profile. The KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;836755 provides the clues needed to find it (assuming you know how to read PRF files).
