I have the same problem. I copied from CD to HDD and turned off the READ
ONLY flag. The file opens OK on a computer that has Windows XP and Office
2003. There is something different about Vista and OL2K7. I checked
owenership and file permissions and moved the file to a temp folder, to my
document folder, etc. and it would just not open.

There's something else strange going on here.

The attempt to open the pst file fails with the message: "File access

First, forget importing from a PST. That's never a good idea. Just OPEN
the PST with FileOpenOutlook Data File.

To do that, however, you must copy the PST to the hard drive and remove the
read-only attribute. The message you see is typical of a write-protected
PST.
