How To See Inside Archive.PST

[Guest]

Win XP--Outlook 2003:: Do you have to Open "archive" Or "archivebackup.PST"
inside "Data File Management" to view what 465 kb are? Trying Rt Clk on
archive.PST "Open With" [Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
11\Outlook.EXE] Nets "Cannot Open--Command Line Switch "Wrong Path listing"
error pops up. Thanks!

Use File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

Outlook knows how to read the .pst files that it creates using a
Microsoft proprietary format. Load Outlook and use its File -> Open
menu.

Thanks to you both - I can't see Any Archive Data in any Folder (Inbox, Sent,
Calendar, etc.) I even changed Current View in Calendar to show Lists and
Nothing. Not a Big Deal at 465 kb. Thanks again for the lesson I'll use again
later, I'm sure.

The menu navigation you were given by Roady and me had nothing to do
with the *view*. It is unclear if you expect to see archived data in
your current message store or if you actually opened the archive .pst
file and there are no items included in THAT tree shown for the
archived message store. If the latter, well, the size of the .pst
file reflects that, yes, some bytes are used up in defining the
hierarchy of the folders inside the .pst database file. Apparently
you haven't yet moved any old items into this archive .pst file.

Most likely an empty archive file.
