  Rich,

  I checked, this AM, and the paths on both displayed opened files are =
exactly=20
  the same, and neither can be closed.

  Any other place to look (like in the registry) where there might be a=20
  duplicate entry that can/should be removed?

  Also, the gazillion reminders popping up are related to the lost =
displayed=20
  names on the top of the contacts. He's having to open each contact, =
change=20
  the Displayed Name to an alternate format, and save and close the =
contact=20
  (All initially displayed with blank names).  This then updates the=20
  particular reminder, and allows it to be dismissed.  Not sure how =
we're=20
  going to get the reminders that point to "missing emails" out of the=20
  reminder list though, as you can't dismiss them, since the original =
link=20
  can't be found.

  Any pointers to where those are stored (if they're accessible) would =
be=20
  helpful.

  After the Compact, the file is now down to 656mb, instead of 1.9gig.  =
That's=20
  encouraging.

     In Office XP the PST file I/O uses 32-bit file offsets.  In Office =
2003=20
  the file I/O uses 64-bit offsets.  I don't know if the file format =
itself=20
  has some limit.  As I have a PST that is larger than 2GB that I use =
with=20
  Office 11.

     If you have two PSTs reported as opened I would check to see if you =
don't=20
  have two different paths to the same file.  If this happened to me I =
would=20
  go to the data file options and if two are listed remove one.  If only =
one=20
  is listed I would delete the MAPI profile and recreate it.

    The 2 gig file size limit...is that an Outlook limit, or a hard =
OS/File
    System limit?  Running on Windows 2K, and I believe formatted =
partition is
    NTFS.  Might be Fat32 though..

    Reason I ask, is I just spent the bulk of today repairing a PST file =
that
    had exceeded the file size, and could not be opened.  Had to =
download the
    2gig limit truncation program, and then run Scanpst.exe to repair =
the=20
  file.
    Lots of resulting corruption, for example, all the peoples names are =
gone=20
  in
    his contacts list, but the internal info on each entry is there.

    He's now getting close to 3000 reminders opening, almost like every=20
  reminder
    he's ever set is now back.

    In the process of correcting this, we did upgrade to Office XP from =
Office
    2K.  At least in Office XP, the reminders come up in a Reminders =
list,
    rather than a gazillion popup reminder windows on his desktop, which =
was
    crashing Outlook.

    Also, now even though we're only opening 1 PST file, it shows as 2, =
which
    are identical, and neither can be closed, which does indicate it's =
the=20
  same
    file, with 2 instances being displayed.  Even the indications on the =

  folder
    list match, when an email arrives, it shows as (1) in both inboxes.=20
  Anyone
    have any clue how to fix that????

    He's in massive "trim" mode right now, as well as running compact on =
the
    file.  What really killed him space was, is he has tons of documents =
saved
    with his Tasks list, and tons of attachments included in his email.=20
  .
