Unable to open .pst folders.

[Guest]

I've attempted numerous times to open my outlook1.pst folder with no success,
I've copied the folder to my 2nd HD (on my PC) and still the folder does not
open after right-clicking on it, what am I failing to do? I'm using Outlook
in Office XP.

What are you doing with the right-click? You should be opening it in Outlook
with the File | Open | Outlook Data File.

Hi Sue, Even when I go to file> open>outlook data file, still nothing!

Make sure the .PST file hasn't ben set READ ONLY somewhere in the process,
it must be READ/WRITE before Outlook will do anything with it.
