pst file error.
If you copied from cd to hd you need to browse to the file in Explorer,
select properties and turn off the read only flag. If however in copying the file you overwrote an existing pst you may have corrupted the file & or any outlook profile "Justin" wrote in message ... when tring to open a pst file i get error message "this file is not a personal folders file". just worked through coping from cd because of access denied issue. what am I doing wrong? thanks. |

You removed the read-only attribute, correct? If you see the error you report, then chances are the PST is toast and that the toast was made when the CD was burned. The usual cause is that Outlook was open when the PST was burned to CD, but I've seen anecdotal evidence that some CD burning software simply doesn't handle PSTs well in any event. You might be able to find a commercially-available PST repair application that can correct the problem. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
