Hi.. I hope someone can help. So my boss asked me to back-up his outlook today. I exported a .pst file to a folder in My Docs. I then explained that he could do this and copy the file to his flash card and it would be backed up. Now every time he re-opens outlook it wants him to locate this file... Does anyone know how to make this stop!



Is there another way I should have done this? Why does it keep looking for this file???



I hope someone out there can help!

Thanx!

I'm afraid i can't advise you how to fix this, but the real back up is just to shutdown outlook and then only copy file to location where you want.

I'm backup mine this way and it works fine.

Cheers,
Boris

Yep. Just use the special "Outlook Repair Utility" called F-Disk. Ha ha, jk. That one never gets old....

Have you tried looking at the data file settings under "Tools -> Mail Setup -> Data Files" ? Does it show his current "real" directory? Does it show the exported directory as well?
