Default Keep getting prompts for a saved pst backup that I lated zipped and deleted original of??

I exported a folder, or perhaps the calendar, a couple of days ago to
a pst file backup on my desktop. After closing O2K, I zipped up the
file and deleted the original file and took the zip backup home. This is
something I've done many times without a hitch. This time
around, O2K keeps prompting at odd times during the day for this pst
file and when I cancel on the box, it opens up a browse box to travel
to the deleted pst file. This is very odd and has never happened to
me before.
Is there a way to fix this, pls?


Exporting to a PST is never the way to make a backup. It produces side
effects like you see. If you've not run into trouble before now, you've
been lucky. With Outlook closed, just use Windows Explorer to copy the PST
or just zip the original PST.

You may need to create a new mail profile, but exactly how depeds n your
Outlook 2000 mode. Post the second line of HelpAbout.
