I cant archive
I looked at my archive folder there are 2 files

archive 2.2 gig
archive 3.2 gig

When I open outlook I can see my 2 archive folders
I tried closing outlook then moving both archive files hoping I could
start
from scratch, but when I open outlook up it prompts for both files
if I cancel out of that it still wont let me archive, when I try to
archive,
it wants an archive file to append too
How can I stop it from looking for these to files when opening
I would like to start with a new archive file and remove existing 2 files,
If I ever need them I will import into another profile
my outlook file is about 900 megs
I thought with outlook 2003 the limit is 20 gigs?

Did you close the archive folders before moving them?

If not, try moving them back into the original location, restarting Outlook,
and closing them. Or, adjust the profile's attached files via Control
Panel, Mail, show profiles, properties, data files, remove.

IIRC the file limit depends on the pst format in use. If you use the older
format, the limit is much smaller.
