Archive Problem

Dear All

I work for an organisation that works in the dark ages. We
use Outlook 98 (8.5.5603.0) with a basic build of NT4
(Service pack 6).

When we use the archive functunality from the file menu we
find that on some emails earlier than the date specified
are not archived to the desired folder. I do not work for
IT and cannot update service packs for outlook.

Can anyone advise me what could be wrong? Was this a bug
in this version. Sometimes some files would be archived
and not all. What date is used? Is it the object's
creation date? It makes no difference whether you have
the "include do not archive items". The problem is that it
is irregular and unexplained.

Thanks.

Alastair

It's based on the Modified Date. Does this clarify the results for you?
