export pst folder

Is there a way to send via LAN w/OL2003 a personal file to another e-mail
contact, if we are not on an Exchange serve?

I want to send a file of all the correspondence I have had with a contact, o
another e-mail party.

I guess I could save all the correspondence as text messages, then send them
a file, but I was just hoping there was an easier way to do this, as a click
and send stoke.

Thanks,

Create a new PST file using the File menu > New > Outlook Data File command
then drag/drop the items/folders you want to save into that PST file. Right
click on the root of that set of folders and choose "Close". Exit Outlook
then copy the PST file you just created on to something for transport to the
other person.

Or the PST can be e-mailed. Probably you will need to rename the file
extension from ".pst" to something else, like ".ps_" or ".psx". Once the
other person has it, it can be saved to disk and renamed to ".pst". The
recipient can then open it with File>Open>Outlook Data File.

I changed the file from .pst to .psx. Once that was done, I went to
File>Open>Outlook Data File. I get a message that says I dont have
permission to access the file....file access denied. Where do I go to change
this so that I do have permission?

You renames it back again, thenm before you tried to open it, correct?
Outlook won't even see a file whose extension is .psx in the File>Open
dialogue.

It sounds like you made it read-only somehow. Since you don't state exactly
what steps you used, it's hard to say how, but browse to the file with
Windows Explorer, right-click it, choose Properties, and uncheck
"Read-only". The try to open it in Outlook.
