Outlook file
I have a .pst file on my desktop. I am trying to open it with Outlook
2003. But it says " it is not a personal folders file". Please tell me what am I doing wrong.

Outlook file
Just a guess...
Did you copy this pst onto your desktop from a CD? If so, then select the properties of the file and turn off the Read Only check mark. To select the properties, just right click the file and select "Properties". Once you have done this you should be able to open the data file into your Outlook program.

The instructions Nikki gave you are exactly correct. The only thing I would
add is that if you still have an issue after following her instructions, try running scanpst.exe against the PST file while Outlook is closed just in case there's any corruption in the contents of the file. http://www.msoutlook.info/question/98 -- Kathleen Orland - MVP Outlook Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ "john" wrote: I have a .pst file on my desktop.
