I changed the file from .pst to .psx. Once that was done, I went to
FileOpenOutlook Data File. I get a message that says I dont have
permission to access the file....file access denied. Where do I go to change
this so that I do have permission?

Create a new PST file using the File menu New Outlook Data File
command then drag/drop the items/folders you want to save into that
PST file. Right click on the root of that set of folders and choose
"Close". Exit Outlook then copy the PST file you just created on to
something for transport to the other person.

Or the PST can be e-mailed. Probably you will need to rename the file
extension from ".pst" to something else, like ".ps_" or ".psx". Once the
other person has it, it can be saved to disk and renamed to ".pst". The
recipient can then open it with FileOpenOutlook Data File.

You renames it back again, thenm before you tried to open it, correct?
Outlook won't even see a file whose extension is .psx in the FileOpen
dialogue.

It sounds like you made it read-only somehow. Since you don't state exactly
what steps you used, it's hard to say how, but browse to the file with
Windows Explorer, right-click it, choose Properties, and uncheck
"Read-only". The try to open it in Outlook.
