How to rename 2004.pst to 2005.pst

When I installed Office2003 I preferred to name my outlook.pst file to
a_name_2004.pst. I thought it would be enough to rename the a_name_2004.pst
to a_name_2005.pst.
Bad guess. Outlook asked for the missing a_name_2004.pst file but I can
point to the new one (2005), this worked but at some points it still asking
to the 2004 file.
There are still references to that 2004 file.
Can somebody explain me how to do it in the right way.
I want to achieve a a_name.pst file/year and get away from my personal folder.
