Resolve "Not Having Permission to Acces Outlook Data File" situation

[Arno D. S.]

Hello,

I have recently reinstall my office XP after reformatting
my Hard disk. I have an archived PST file with all my
Emails in it and a PAB file. However, whenever I try to
open this PST file in its own directory, or assigne the
PAB file as my address book, I receive a message telling
me I don't have a Permission to access the file.

I am running a Windows 2000 Pro, and I am the sole
Administrator of the system. How can I resove this
situation? I will appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Arno
