I cannot import a Contacts file to Outlook on a new PC.

**Uncle Al** · August 2nd 06, 08:27 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I copied the Contact data on a CD. I then try to import the data from the CD
to Outlook on another computer and it give me a message that I do not have
permission to do this.

This should be a simple exercise. What am I doing wrong

What you're doing wrong is not copying it to the hard drive and removing the
read-only attribute. Outlook must have write access to PSTs. After you do
that, open it with FileOpenOutlook Data File (or Personal Folders File
depending on yuor utlook version).
