Outlook 2002 problem

[David]

I just upgraded from Outlook 2000 (IMO) to Outlook 2002.
Whenever I open the program I get an error message
saying "can't open file expand.dat"."

Anybody know what this emans and how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Is it 'expand.dat' (which I've never heard of) or 'extend.dat'? If you
rename/delete extend.dat and run a detect/repair operation for
Office/Outlook it may get fixed

Vince -- you are right. The file is "extend.dat." And I
took your advice by renaming the file and running a
repair operation -- it seems to work okay now.

Many thanks for the helpful suggestion.
