If you google for OL recovery you will find a whole bunch of companies
pleased to extract $$, the better ones work on a no recovery no fee basis.
PS upgrading to OL2007 will have no impact on a corrupt OL2k pst

Thanks Hal, I've run the PST recovery and reduced the file. I get an error
about half way that simple says...an error has occured and you files have
not
changed. I tried the ihex, have everything downloaded but i think It's way
over my simple brain, do you know a support crew I can call or have any
other
suggestions? I really appreciate your help. Butch
