When OL can't find its PST file, it should prompt you to search for it or
create a new one. Create a new one in the location of your choice and name
it myname.pst.
Note for future reference: when you post in here, always include your
version/mode/SP level of Outlook (from Help | About), what kind of mail
account(s) you use if this concerns mail, etc. Methods for many things vary
by version.

OK (and for what it's worth, there are no 'modes' in OL2002/2003, which is
nice).
Go to control panel, mail, and in the properties of your profile remove the
offending Personal Folders service, add it back & specify the path/name you
wish. Does that work?

That worked great! Thanks so much for the help.
