earlier today i was able to open an archived outlook data file and it would appear in my outlook folder structure just as described. Now i am unable to do so. The file name in the selection list not to include the fully qualified name. Just the bottom levels. I can see the file name but when I select the file name, it does not move to the open window. When i key the name into the window and click ok, the process ends and nothing happens
I have altered my settings in some way that has caused this.
With Outlook 2010 I occassionally will have to close Outlook and reopen the program to open the archives folder or calendar is there a fix or repair that can be applied that will solve this issue.
