To determine the name of an archive file you need to open in Outlook 2002, choose File, Archive and look in the box labeled "Archive File." Be very careful not to change anything about the information in that box; otherwise, Outlook may start sending your archived items someplace else.
The information in the Archive File box is usually complex gobbledygook with colons and slashes and all sorts of stuff that normal people can't remember. One good trick for capturing a long name in a dialog box is to copy the information. Do this by clicking the name once, pressing Tab, pressing Shift+Tab, and pressing Ctrl+C. Next, click Cancel. After you copy the file name, you can follow the previous steps, except that you can paste the name you want into the File Name box by pressing Ctrl+V, and you don't have to remember that long, crazy file name.
