Well, the nice thing about the commercial product is that it is usually a lossless recovery - not truncating. Political/Legal reasons necessitated a full recovery for us (which is how I was able to get funding for a tool *chuckle*).

It was created in Outlook 2000 and I have Outlook 2007. Whenever I attempt to open it, it gives me an error that it's reached it's maximum size and I need to permanently delete some items to fix it, but it immediately closes the PST file so I can't access it. How the heck am I supposed to reduce the size if Outlook won't open it???? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
