I imported all data from my old .pst file when I upgraded to Windows XP and Office XP on my new Dell computer. Everything seemed to work just fine. I recently wanted to edit the icon for a contact’s birhtday reminder on the contact’s page. When I tried to open the icon I first got a warning that this was an embedded object.etc. When I agreed I was told that the path to the .pst file was invalid. The path given to me was the old path at the time I imported the data. I moved the .pst file to a different directory for back up purposes. If I dlete the imported icon and enter the date in the contact’s page and recreated the icon, all works fine. Is there any plaace that I am missing where the path is indicated. It is correctly stated in the Data location area.
