Thanks Shawn, I think when he deleted the user file, he thought outlook would back up when he selected to save all files. I don't think it did. When I look for the pst file, I only find the one I created today when I re-entered all of my email accounts. I downloaded a recovery program and it seemed to find the deleted file but it listed its status a BAD so I did not bother trying to grab it. I think I am just hosed.
