Can't open archive folder

[stinsoneer]

I made an archive folder from Outlook 2000 on an old laptop, and put the
*.pst file on a little jump drive. Then I opened Outlook 2007 on my new
laptop (XP) and made a file folder called Archive Folders, and copied it over
from the drive to that folder. When I click on the *.pst file it will not
open on the new machine. I get the message "Cannot open this item. Outlook
blocked access to this potentially unsafe item." But it's clean, everything
went thru Norton first.... how can I get my old emails to transfer over to
the new machine and open?

Copy from Jump drive to your Documents folder.
Within Outlook, File>Open>Data File......browse to this file
PS an Archive file will only include msgs for the archive date, an Archive
is NOT a copy of your origonal data file

It should open from the jump drive. State exactly how you're trying to open
it.
