I have 2 related issues ......

A) When My Outlook 2003 tries to open a pop up box appears and asks me
for a personal folders password. I recently saved a new PST file, to
install a copy on my new laptop. I do not believe I created a
password. I can cancel out of the pop up screen, and outlook opens.

B) However, when Personal Folders - Outlook Today opens it opens to
the wrong calendar. Instead of my current calendar opening, the
default is Calendar in archive folders (1). I can click on the current
calendar box, and deselect the Calendar in archive folders (1) on the
left panel and that seems to open the correct calendar option.

CLick ToolsE-mail AccountsNext. Examine the "Deliver new e-mail to the
following location" drop-down at the lower left. I suspect it points to
your Archive PST. Change it to reference the PST you wish and restart
Outlook.

I'm also concerned about it synching the wrong file to my PDA.

If the delivery location is correct, the PDA will get the correct data.

1) How do I remove the - PST Password pop up request window?

SOmetimes when a PST has been damaged, it will request a password. There
are password removal tools available in the INternet and Google should be
able to find them for you. You may find a free one, but if you do, make
sure it handles Unicode PSTs.

2) How do I make my current calendar the default and deselect the
archive folder (1)?

See above.

3) Which Archive folder do I keep the original archive or archive
folder (1) -where is it?

Click FileData File Management to see paths for PSTs open in your mail
profile. See ToolsOptionsOtherAutoArchive to read the path for the
current archive PST.

4) Why / How do I delete the incorrect archive folder ?

I'd say there's no such thing as an "incorrect" archive because Outlook can
use multiple archive PSTs simultaneously. In the extreme, you can have a
separate archive PST for each folder.
