Thanks. I will try to do that. I believe that the problem is that the
recovered file is corrupted and finding a solution so the data can be read
has eluded me thus far.

Thanks for the suggestion, Peter.

Instead of importing the file try and take that back up file and put it in the file
where it belongs

I have a back-up file (~ 3.3 GB) of Outlook 2007 from crashed hard drive .
When I try to import PST file I get the following message: "Errors have been
detected in the file" Tried Scanpst.exe to no avail.

When I try to open directly from the recovered file using Outlook I get a
message that the "attachment size exceeds the allowable limit"

Suggestions on how to import/repair PST file would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Jimmy
