Problem importing Outlook Express files from CDR

C

Carol Ramsey

Had to reboot our home computer b/c the hard drive was
screwed up. Saved my email/address book files from
Outlook Express on a CD-R. Now it won't let me import
the files again, it says that access is denied because I
do not have the authority to access the file????? How is
this possible, it is my own file??? Please email back
your responses at my personal email, I have trouble
finding my messages again on the board. Thanks.

As with Outlook, OE requires access to the files to write to them - CDs are
read only. Remove the file from the CD, copy to the hard drive and remove
the read only checkmark from the properties.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
