When trying to click 'Settings' on a PST file in Outlook 2007 (File > Data File Management) I kept getting an error code 0x80040116.
I get an error code 0x80040116 when trying to click on Outlook PST file setting option. I had problem with both main folders PST as well as Archive PST file i.e. for removing archive folder issue I just click right on Archive folder and select close archive folder. After that go to file > data file management and click ‘Add’ to add Archive .pst file. You can use this processor for other PST files too. But not for main personal folder Outlook.pst files because it don’t close during an error 0x80040116.
For Personal folder PST file you have to follow the following procedure.
