Hi, I had some kind of glitch tonight with my Ipaq 4155 and MS Outlook. The Outlook program glitched out and then repaired itself. Now, to make this as simple as possible, Outlook now needs outlook.pst AND outlook1.pst files to work. I have tried the obvious to get Outlook to ONLY use the outlook.pst file as before because I copy and paste outlook.pst from one PC to 3 others. I don't know what caused this craziness but would sure appreciate help on how to get Outlook back to its default setting to ONLY need outlook.pst. Thank you AD because you are probably the ony one who can help. Of course I'd love to be proven wrong!!!! Thanks to all!!! Ron

What are these obvious things you've tried? Have you restart the desktop? And perhaps original pst file is damaged, search for Scanpst.exe and run it, it may repair corrupt pst file.

Thanks AD!
I tried recopying and pasting outlook.pst, I tried deleting outlook1.pst but
Outlook seems to be looking for outlook1.pst NOT outlook.pst as before. The ONLY way I have been able to make things work is to delete the outlook1.pst file from Outlook and then rename the copied outlook.pst from the master computer to outlook1.pst and then paste it in Outlook. What a hassle. It seems that Outlook is looking for the outlook!.pst file ONLY. Ugh.

Thanks again AD as the Scanpst.exe only found minor errors and repaired them but, the same problem per above remains.
