[dba-Tech] Outlook PST troubles

I've used Outlook (first as a "stand alone" program) since either OL95 or
OL98. Can't remember which I used. Later started using the stand alone for
Access, then later upgraded to full office package since that was simpler to
update. Just took the plunge to Office2007, mainly because I'm using that
now at my client's place, and it's less confusing to be using two different
versions.
