Archive Folders was not closed properly 2

[melburstein]

Lately, every time I open Microsoft Outlook 2003 the following message appears:

"The data file 'Archive Folders" was not closed properly. The file is being checked for problems."

After it is checked, Outlook opens. But the next time I open it, I get the same message. I tried doing a Manual Archive of my Personal Folders but I still get the message everytime I open Outlook.

What can I do?

Personally, I'd just create a new archive folder. With Outlook closed, rename the existing archive file (probably archive.pst) to something else. When Outlook is opened, it should create a new one.

do a search on your computer for a program called scanpst.exe its used to repair damaged pst files..
