Error Opening archive .pst

[Guest]

I have archived several years worth of Outlook data. I have created an
archive file for each year, and moved the archives to CD. The file does not
span CD's. The archive files were created some time ago, and I get an error
when attempting to open them. Access denied. I opened them before... What is
the trick...? Is it because they are on CD now...? or is it because I have
migrated to a new version of Outlook (2003)...? or is it because I have
changed user names from my business address when the archives were created to
my personal outlook program at home...? i.e. userid changed..?

Any suggestions...?

No version of Outlook can open PST files on Read-Only media. The underlying
messaging system is going to require read/write operations.
