Problem opening .pst file

[Christy]

Hello,
I archived important data at work on an NT machine so
that I could work on stuff at home. The problem is that
when I try to open the .pst file, a message pops up
indicating that I don't have the necessary permissions to
open the file. I didn't create a password when I created
it. How do I open this on Outlook 2003?

Check the file's ReadOnly attribute.
If you used a CD to transfer the file, it will become Read-Only until you
copy it off the CD to a local disk and then remove the ReadOnly attribute

I have the same problem as Christy. I know this sounds
really dumb but how do you copy the PST file from CD to
the local hard drive?

I have the same problem as Christy. I know this sounds

the local hard drive?

Put the CD in the CD drive, open My Computer, double-click the CD drive and
you should see the data on the CD. Open My Computer again (so there's a
second Windows Explorer window), double-click your hard drive and browse to
the folder where you want your PST file to go. Go bak to the CD window and
click-and-drag the PST to the HD window just like any other copy operation
in Windows. When you've done that, right-click on the new copy you've just
made and unselect the "read-only" attibute. Outlook should now be able to
open that PST.
