I copied them to a folder and tried to open the most recent (prior to the
new PC) but got the error message "File access is denied. You do not have
the permission required to access the file N:\OUTLOOK FILES\archive.pst"

It made no difference which file I tried to open, I got the same related
message. The files are mine, on a PC only used by me and belonging to me.
What permission do I need?

Cheers

Thats a copy to your Documents folder and not the default Outlook location

I have bought a new computer which has Outlook 2007. My previous
computer uses Outlook 2003. I would like to keep and possibly 'transfer'
the old (stored) emails from my previous computer onto my new computer
so that if need be, I can view them again.

Where should I look in the 2003 version and which file should I copy?

I think I recall being told several years ago that Outlook stores
Contacts in a file ending with .pst but I am not sure about the
extension of the file which stores the emails.

All in the same file. The default name is Outlook.pst, but search for
*.pst, including Hidden files.

I do not necessarily want to replace my current (Outlook 2007) emails
and folders with the previous version, I simply want to know that they
are on my new computer and I can view them when I want (when I learn how
to)

Copy to your new HDD and do File-Open-Outlook Data File in Outlook.
