Mary,

Thanks–the scan worked and I can see my files!!!!!!!!!!

Things are really screwed up. I am able to get rid of the unable to display sent items folder using clean views but I cannot access the 200,000 bit plus information and then when I try again I get the grey box back with an error message telling me that I need to use the Inbox repair tool because there are errors in my pst file. Where is the inbox repair tool and will it fix it?

Clean views restored the sent items folder but wiped it clean. Is there anyway to save the emails that I have sent and restore the sent items display?

The problems I am having with the sent items folder are not at work but at home connecting with a modem. I do not have a network sent items folder.

I am using pst and I brought my outlook.pst file to work and the tech person loaded on his pc and had the same problem. It does not display at all even after restarting. I just get a greyed out box (unable to display folder)and it eliminates all the elements in the tool bars except for help when I click on the sent items folder. I also checked the properties and there is nothing there out of the ordinary so I am not sure what to do.

I made sure that the sent item is clicked. I can do a find on the sent items folder and my email messages are there I just cannot display the folder to see them. Any other suggestions?

Rory–thank you very much–your suggestion worked!
