"I have tried to open then through the data file but it says i don't have
the program to open it???"
You must do this in Outlook.
"what do you mean by have you checked your back ups yet????"
To see if you can find your items there.

Jodie,
Any luck yet?
I take it that the file you are trying to view has an extension of .pst. As
Roady was mentioning, you will need to open this type of file in Outlook.
Depending on what version of Outlook you are in there are differernt ways to
open/ mount this pst file. In 03 and 07 (and I believe it is the same in
xp/02) you will need to go to:
File, then select Data File Management. On this screen, you should have an
option to Add a data file. When you select Add, you will get an option of
either the new version of a pst or the older 97 to 2002 version. Pick
whichever one you belive the pst to be. When you select ok, it should take
you to a location under your profile (..\Local\Microsoft\Outlook) and you may
see something like archive.pst. Select this file then select OK. You should
get another window where you can just select OK. You'll return to the first
screen then click Ok if that is an option, if not just close. Check your
folder list and you should see your archive folder.
Hope this help out.
Sincerely,
Tom Z Jr

You're still double clicking on the file instead of using File-> Open->
Outlook Data File... from within Outlook.
Opening any backed up pst-files is the same process.
