How do I make "Archive Folders" into "Personal Folders"

To solve a problem with my OL calendar, I archived my information into a new
archive of my Outlook data. I named the archive outlook.pst and it now
comes up fine. My problem is that when the new OL file comes up at the top
of the Outlook Today page it says "Archive Folders - Outlook Today" instead
of "Personal Folders - Outlook Today". I know that the file was built via
an archive, but it is now named outlook.pst. How do I make OL (or the file)
not think of itself as an archived file but the personal folders file? I
want to do this because I believe the current arrangement is causing my
synch to my palm pilot to fail.

TIA

Austin,

I tried what you suggested and found what I think was the 'right spot'.
However, trying to type over the Archive Folder name gave warning tones. I
note that in the help (or really what is this) for the field mentioned that
I needed the right privileges to change it. I am running as
Administrator...what more privileges could I need?

The default name for the personal folder is outlook.pst, if you have created
an archive and named it outlook.pst, as apposed to the default archive name
of archive.pst you may have a problem/conflict
There is no difference, other than contents between an outlook.pst and an
archive.pst

Try hitting the Advanced button on the same window and change the title
there.

That did the trick (tho Palm Pilot is still not synching).
