Cannot open copy of back up PST files from disc
Hello! Hope you could help me out on this one...
Recently I backed up my Outlook 2002 files at work (PC running on WinXP Prof Ed) and saved them on my D:\ drive. I decided then also to burn a copy of the back up files on disc so I can also view the files when I got back home (PC running Outlook 2003 + WinXP Home Ed). However I can't open the back up files from the disc (denied access). Need help/work arounds to overcome this. -- Thank you very much! |

Copy the files to your HDD, remove the Read-Only attribute and open them in Outlook. |

Cannot open copy of back up PST files from disc
Hi Ricky
The file on the CDROM is normally marked read only. Outlook needs read write access to work with a PST file but seems to give oblique reasons as to why it cant use it. Copy the file from the CD to the home hard drive then go into its properties and remove the read only tick. Then open with Outlook.. Cheers Bob Need help/work arounds to overcome this. |

The reason it needs write access, among others, is that Outlook updates any items modified date when it has been accessed.

Outlook send error
Anyone please,
Can you possibly lend me a hand with this issue, or point me in the right direction? I have two laptops both running XP OS and Office2003. One can send and receive from Outlook to a certain account on a certain server, and the other cannot send to the same account/server combination. ("check email address field" error) No degree of settings checking and rechecking yields a different result. On advice from this group I have migrated the settings from the fully functional PC to the hampered unit - no improvement. I have tried the Protected Storage erase/reset fix for the Outlook 2003 password issue - no change. Please - any movement in a positive direction will be gratefully received. Many thanks, -Joe |

Start with a new mail profile and add your account in again, making sure ALL the settings agree with the working PC. -- Brian Tillman |
