[dba-Tech] FW: Outlook reinstall

It can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, but if you search for the *.pst and
take a copy of it, you're going to be ok in case it does kill it.

The only problem I've had with that is that when you reimport the pst
afterwards, the two sets of contact folders get confused and seem to argue
about which one is going to be the primary one. It usually ends up with the
empty one winning, and I can't figure out how to make them behave, which is
irritating, to say the least.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna look for your excel thing too :-)

I'm probably going to have to reinstall Outlook -- the translator files have
been corrupted and I'm trying to export data to an Access data and it just
can't do it. 

I don't mind losing settings or rules -- that sort of thing, but will
reinstalling destroy the mail in my pst folders and entries in my address
book? Or will the installation process maintain them?
