filename.pst is not a personal folder file
I archived all of my mail today to a file called Archive_11.28.2005.pst.
Everything seemed to work fine so I closed Outlook and burned the .pst file to a dvd. I copied the file back to my hard drive, removed the read only attribute and tried opening it in Outlook (same version of Outlook (2003) on the same PC) and got the error "C:\path to file\Archive_11.28.2005.pst is not a personal folder file". When I ran scanpst.exe it wouldn't recognize it as a .pst file either. Any ideas?

filename.pst is not a personal folder file
When you burned the file to DVD, did you use a speed of 4x or slower?

filename.pst is not a personal folder file
Also, did you create this file by exporting the data to it instead of
copying it? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John" wrote in message ... I archived all of my mail today to a file called Archive_11.28.2005.pst.

I didn't use the import/export function, I archived it to a .pst
