What are you trying to open it from?
Sounds kinda like your trying to open an attachment to an email.
The pst needs to be saved to, or allready on, the hd, the read only flag
needs to be off. Then in OL File/Open/Data File (depends on version) and
browse to location.
If copying do NOT overwrite any existing pst.
The default name for an archive pst is, wait for it is 'archive.pst' it is
this file you should be opening.
