Took all day. What's worse, when I extracted data from the large PST to a newly created one I overshot the ~4.5GB size and it became 5.05GB. I had remove email from that (sorting largest attachment to smallest) to another. Moveed ~600MB but the file was still ~5.05GB so I had to then compact it. That took more time. When I was done, I had a 12+GB PST that was -- EMPTY ! I don't think that was the case with Office 97 style PST files. You moved files out, the PST got smaller. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

If it makes you feel better, admins everywhere feel the pain...and a few can top it with stories if their own. :) -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "David H.
