What do you mean by "When that PST file is available"? Do you mean that outlook isn't running, so the PST file is unlocked? > I've worked around the issue by renaming the .pst file (it's > now called "Madlyns Personal Folders.pst" instead of "Madalyn's > Personal Folders.pst"), but I thought you would want to be > aware of the situation. Can you clarify which combination of outlook running/not, and PST file name with/without an apostrophe causes the tar extract errors? Also, how large is the pst file? If it's repeatable I can send you some diagnostic code. Craig ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
