I didnt mean look for the File, I meant open the Archive
If the Archive is opened and they are not there, but your Archive setting is
set to Delete, rather than Archive, then I assume you have run Office
Diagnostics?

If still a problem, try creating a New Outlook Profile - not copy - add the
data file & accounts & retest

Hi DL
yup looked for the file and it was marked as to delete these files and
even
though i have changed ALL the settings nothing changes
really frustrating - the only other thing i can think to do is wipe the
hard
drive and completely reload it but i don't see why i should have to
