Unable To Import *.PST files into Outlook 2000

[Dan Marks]

On one machine I exported a number of E-Mails from one
Outlook 2000, as *.pst files. I then moved them to
another machine and wanted to Import those *.pst files
into Outlook 2000. When I go throght the steps in the
Wizard where you Browse to the file you want to Import and
click Next I get the following 2 error messages.

1. Title Bar: Personal Folders
Message: Properties for this information service must
be defined prior to use.

2. Title Bar: Microsoft Outlook
Message: File access is denied. You do not have
permission required to access the file:
A:\Drafts Backup.pst

I get these two error messages when I try to Import of
*.pst file from either a floppy drive, which has no
security access attributes or from a hard drive which has
the security permissions set to "EVERYBODY", & I'm logged
on having "Administrator" privilages.

Can someone tell me:
1. What is going on?
2. What do I need to do to import these *.pst files.

Please respond by E-Mail

Thanks

You got your pst file on a FLOPPY?

Copy the file to your HDD, make sure the Read-Only attribute is NOT checked,
(Right-Click-Properties) and then don't import, just open.
(File-Open-Outlook Data file)

I still can't believe you got your pst file onto a FLOPPY......

Liek he said, he exported individual mails to various PSTs. It's not hard
to imagine at all.
