when you set the manual archive folder to the Inbox and all of its subfolders
(assuming this is correct)- does that also set up what folder to archive for
the autoarchive? This might be it.

Also tried to repair by archive folder and had to hand type the path in -saw
no errors - just wondering why I can not see the lc:\documents and
settings\barb\ocal settings folder\application data
folder\microsoft\outlook\archive.pst - I can get to the barb folder but then
the local settings one I can not see -but it ran the reparir fine when I hand
typed in the path - this is not the first time I could not get to the local
settings folder - what am I missing here?

thanks,
barb
