Can't move .pst file from one computer to another--help!!!!`

[Gary]

Hi,
This is a "newbie" problem that stumps the tech support at
my company. Perhaps a solution for it can be found here.
I use Outlook to read messages at work, and would like to
read them on the Outlook of my computer at home. I
archived the messages of a folder into a .pst file, but
could not open the .pst file at home. Access was denied.
(I was able to open the file at work.)
Any suggestions on surmounting this problem would be
appreciated. Thanks very much.
Gary

If it is on a CD, copy it back to the hard drive and remove the read-only
properties. Ensure that you are using Outlook at home, not Outlook Express.

If you copied your work's .pst file onto a CD to bring
home, copy the .pst file from the CD onto your home's
hard drive and turn off its "read-only" file attribute.
You should then be able to access the .pst fil at home as
an personal archive file. In other words, you can't open
a .pst file from a CD.

I hope that this helps.
