I have Outlook 2002 10.6515.6735, SP3.

The path was as I mentioned in the string ending in Outlook.pst.

I had deleted the .pab from the floppy drive before and when I started
Outlook it didn't like it, because it wanted to see it there, so I had
saved a copy and put it back on the floppy in order to keep Outlook
working.
I did some looking around and did notice that .pab hasn't been used
for several versions. I then deleted that from my folder and lo and
behold, everything worked from the C drive. Did the .pab come with my
installation of Office? What changed to make it want to see that file
and was pointing to it on my A: floppy drive? I am trying to learn as
I fix this.

Your help was right on and extremely beneficial to me and made sense.
Thank you very much!

Post your Outlook version.
No version of Outlook has even used a PAB for 7 years. It is unlikely you
were.
Open your Outlook profile from Control panel. Remove the PAB Service and
make sure the profile includes the correct path to your Outlook Data File
(PST file).
