Sorry that I was unclear: I am just trying to make the autoachive work just
on my computer to my Own file/folder - my co worker has the exact same
settings - and it is working on theirs.


I am talking about the autoarchive- and same thing happens when just File
archive-

No messages are archived on mine but coworkers are - we are archiving to
our OWN archive.pst. We are just trying to understand why mine works and his
doesn’t. – NO individual folders have own archive properties – looked and
all are default.

Here are the settings in the autoarchive Tools-Options-other autoarchive

X Run Autoarchive every 14 days
X Prompt before AutoArchive runs
During autoarchive
X delete expired items(e-mail folders only)
X Archive or delete old items
X Show archive folder in folder list
Default folder setting for archiving
Clean out items older than 6 months
X Move old itmes to: C:\Documents and Settings\Barb\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst

-what could it be???


And the modified dates for all are original - older than the 6 months-check
that already


thanks,
barb
