Guest Joe deAngelo Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 As far as I can see there are two methods of opening/adding an additional *.pst file for an existing Outlook 2003 installation: At first I can simply open a *.pst file by using the menu file->open On the other side I can do it through the menu file->Data file management->Add What is the difference ?

Re: Difference between "Open *.pst file" and "Add data file *.pst" ? Wrong. Open lets you open an existing PST file. Add lets you create a new one. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dlw" <dlw@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:961141B0-D21A-49D9-8B8A-915FCAC78268@microsoft.com... > both do the same thing > > "Joe deAngelo" wrote: > >> As far as I can see there are two methods of opening/adding an additional >> *.pst file >> for an existing Outlook 2003 installation: >> >> At first I can simply open a *.pst file by using the menu >> >> file->open >> >> On the other side I can do it through the menu >> >> file->Data file management->Add >> >> What is the difference ? >> >> Joe >>
