Outlook archive

[MAX]

Hello all,
I have a problem with archive files (.pst): if I copy the archive from the
local or network drive to a CD and then try to open, I get "you do not have
sufficent permissions on the file" error and I cannot open the archive. I
tried to reset permissions on the file before I've burned it to a CD, no
luck. Does anybody know a workaround this?

Thanks

Copy it to a hard-disk and remove the read-only attribute.

There's gotta be a better solution than copy the file every single time on
the HDD. I would like to be able to open from CD.

CDs are read only. You have to be able to read/write to a .pst to use it.

I use compact flash cards to back-up my .pst archives (and other important
stuff), more reliable than magnetic disks, quicker than CD's, reasonably
cheap....
