>>Hi,
>>
>>I have an Outlook type file where I save some messages from my current Outlook main pst file. This file reached its limit (when I try to move a message from the main Outlook to this file I get the message). So I need to "archive" some of the records (e.g. all emails prior to, say 2005). When I right-mouse click on this file and select Data File Properties I don't see an option to Archive or copy some emails. Where do I find this option? TIA.

In Outlook, in your main Mailbox, you can right click on a folder and select Properties. In Properties there is an AutoArchive tab where you can set automatic archiving properties for that folder. It can Archive to a PST.

You can also do this under the File menu in Outlook - Select the Archive option. In there you can set archiving properties per folder or globally.
