Unable to attach pst or import pst
older format pst, trying to link it into Outlook 2007, error file size exceeds storage limit use shift delete to permananetly delete content to reduce file size. But how can we clean it out if we can't open it in outlook to reduce the file size ran a scan pst on it and repaired, but keep getting the same error message when I try to link it into outlook, tried creating a new pst and import the contents into it but same message Is there a way to get around this message so you can attach the pst so you can clean it up to reduce the size. Thanks

"stronger" or "more powerful" repair for PST files than SCANPST?
I'm having a problem with Outlook 2003 crashing frequently and unpredictably and with Outlook sometimes hanging while starting up. In the latter case, I need to use Task Manager to stop the Outlook.pst process and then restart. I run SCANPST very frequently, several times a day, because of all the crashes. Sometimes Outlook stalls on startup right after I've run SCANPST. Other times, Outlook crashes after only a few minutes of usage, right after a SCANPST. So I'm wondering if one of the expensive commercial Outlook repair utilities can fix my problem(s). I would have to pay f...

Importing Tab files
Hello, Here's some odd behavior from Excel. I need to import a tab file with the following two requirements: req 1. Newlines within quotation marks are preserved as part of the record req 2. All fields are imported as text Now, if I do file->open and go through the import wizard, req 2 is met because I can select all fields and set them to text. However, it splits records at newlines within quotation marks no matter what I try. If, on the other hand, I drag and drop the tab file onto Excel, it preserves newlines, but there's no way (as far as I can tell) to force it to input ...

Unable to click on charts & unable to create any new charts Excel

The chart section is now grey and all charts I have created are 'locked' I cannot click on them anywhere. I'm working on a project and need it finished by Monday.
