The file was set "READ ONLY" when it was written to the CD and Outlook
cannot open a read only .PST file. Copy this file back to a folder on your
hard drive where it will NOT OVERWRITE any existing .PST files, right click
the file, select "Properties", deselect the "Read Only" box, then DO NOT
IMPORT IT! Open it from within Outlook using 'File|Open|Personal Folders
File'. You can then use the file as-is, or drag and drop it's contents into
your default .PST file. Importing a .PST file does two things, it loses
data and it almost always corrupts your Outlook profile.

I saved my Contact folder using Outlook's Export to a CD. When I use
Import
or Outlook Data File, I receive "File Access is Denied. You do not have
permission required to access the file F:\Contact.pst" (F drive is where
my
pst. folder is).

Can someone shed a light on my problem? Thank you. MC
