subject: Outlook PST yet again

From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Open for discussion/clarification:

From a prior discussion about this, I was under the impression/assumption
that the 2 gig file limit for PST files in Outlook 2002 (Office XP) was
removed, unlike Office 2k.  This article at the MS knowledgebase seems to
contradict that, unless SP3 changes this:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;305108

SYMPTOMS
If you try to copy files to a personal folders (.pst) file that exceeds the
1.82 gigabyte (GB) limit in Outlook 2002, you may receive the following
error message:
Can't copy the items. The operation failed. CAUSE
This problem can occur because Outlook 2002 limits the .pst file size to
approximately 1.82 GB.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft
Office XP. For additional information, click the following article number
to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

--------------------

I've now pulled the SP3 full install, haven't applied it yet, as we created
a new PST file, than moved/imported/archived the troubling files.
