    Index service not indexing Outlook

    Hi All,

    I'm running Vista x64 and Outlook (Office) 2007. I've used Outlook's "Data File Management" menu to re-locate my .pst files to a separate drive (a raid array) so they wouldn't be on my boot drive. However, since that move, the Indexing function doesn't seem to be working. I have tried using the Index Service "advanced" options to "rebuild" the index, and it finishes in under a minute, clearly not having processed my .pst files.



    Is there a "more advanced" function hidden somewhere that will enable me to tell the Index service that my pst files aren't in the standard location?

    Thanks!

    Thanks. Whatever was wrong seems to have cleared up on its own. Don't you love those mysterious "fixes"? :-)

    A lot more than I like posts from vBulletin users who don't quote what
    they are replying to.

    Works on that damned consumer-grade web interface you're using but not
    on the REAL Usenet when using a newsreader.

    The latest Windows Search for Vista 4.0 is excellent at indexing all
    Outlook mail and appears to be lightning fast and accurate
