We are migrating users to 2003 Office and need for them to locate the path of
their PST files before we do that.

Some will have the PST files on their local drive and some on the server.

Can you provide the step by steps. NONE of us have access to a computer
running Office 2000.
Screen shots would be a blessing. Thanks Corpuser

at the windows desktop:

press key: f3

search assistant pane
opens then search for files
using:

*.pst

there are other options
provided to expand or
limit where to search
for the criterion above.

a listing will then produced and
you can sort by clicking the
column titles inside the results
pane.

Thank you db...we were kind of hoping to avoid the search function since
these users are not that technical and might get lost in such a list.

Your users can find the location of their pst file by looking at
Personal Folders properties in Tools - Services.

Note that some users may have multiple pst files.

Personally, I would not use the file search technique. That would indeed
find pst files but you would have no way of knowing if they are actually
being used or have been abandoned. It would also be difficult for you
(as admin) to search for pst files if they are on local disks...unless
everyone shared their drives. It's just an all-around cumbersome approach.

This web site has some very good information on Outlook that you might
