Cannot open or import pst file

[Cathy]

Hi,

Have just had to rebuild me PC. I made sure to save and
make copies of my Outlook 2002 pst files before the
rebuild. I have now rebuilt and am trying to configure my
Outlook 2002, only I cannot add my pst files as I get the
following error message.

"File access is denied. You do not have permission
required to access the file".

This is driving me insane, any help greatly appreciated.

Exactly how are you trying to access the pst (file>open, file import, etc),
and where is the pst located (hard drive, CD, Etc)?

Hi,

Sorry I have it sorted. Found that the pst files were Read
Only.

Yup, that's usually the trick. Have to remove the read only attribute.
