Default TRANSFER OF DATA TO OUTLOOK

wrote:

Peter,
Thank you. I will try that. I tried Openfile data in Outlook, but was
denied permission to access the data on the disk when I got to it. How do
I turn off the read-only attribute?


Firstly, do NOT use the import/export function when dealing with pst files.
that is the fastest way to a corrupted pst file - the function is meant for
transferring data to and from third-party applications such as Excel and
Access.

Copy the pst file to your HDD. Do NOT overwrite the existing file.
Right-click and choose Properties. Then remove the Read-only attribute
check mark.
then, in Outlook, go to File-Open-Outlook Data File.
