As I understand it, tools do exist to work with Jet family databases outside of the context of the products in which they are embedded. This approach is not recommended, and for that reason, those tools are reserved for use by the developers. So, you need to at the very least interact with the Exchange Server's API if you do not find the things within the admin tools provided to be sufficient. That will preserve the integrity of the stores.
Now just to make a certain E.C. cringe, you could do a bricked backup, then export the store from the backup tool to a neutral file format, and then import the store to a beta copy of the new version of Outlook with its humongous PST capabilities . . . Sorry, I know that is too ridiculous, but hey life is good and the Mariners are 17 and 5. -----Original Message----- From: Siegel, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 9:46 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Tools I read through previous posts/archives/faq regarding scanning the exchange database for specific content. If I want to create boolean searches for all email within the store, ie. identify all email with the word 'contract' - What is the best piece of software to use?
