Brian, when I try to do what you suggest, I get a "cannot access"
message. Actually, I am trying to open an Outlook data file
containing emails from another of my home computers whose system
crashed. But it is implying that I cannot access for security
reasons I guess. When I go an look at the security option of the
file it tells me that I should be able to access it on my current
computer where I am the administrator.

You can copy it, though? Make sure it's not read-only. Make a copy and
open the copy in, say, Wordpad. I know it won't make sense, but if you can
at east open it with another app, you should be able to open it in Outlook.
