(new information here)
My Data File Management (Outlook 2003) is empty; but all my outlook files
are ok. When I click on DFM I get an error message: "There was an error
locating one of the files to complete this operation. It may have been
deleted. " I then close the error message and the window opens up where i
normally see the little outlook file icon and copy it to my desktop for back
up on an external drive. But the window (name of window is outlook data
files) is empty!!
I ran detect and repair and nothing changed.

Again, all my data (notes, calendar, contacts and tasks) are there and I
can add and delete data from these files as needed. (I don't use the mail
function of Outlook). I have no viruses and system is performing fine
(Windows XP). Other than this issue, which is critical for backing up files-
my Outlook seems to be "fine".
I managed to go into Docs-Settings Local Apps and get the pst file and copy
for a backup but the DFM thing is weird. Please comment and if possible
offer a solution as I think Im supposed to see my Outlook file in the DFM,
instead of just seeing it as a hidden file in my Apps. Folder.


As I said over in the outlook.general newsgroup, have you tried creating a new Outlook profile?
