Can't open archive folder
I made an archive folder from Outlook 2000 on an old laptop, and put the
*.pst file on a little jump drive. Then I opened Outlook 2007 on my new laptop (XP) and made a file folder called Archive Folders, and copied it over from the drive to that folder. When I click on the *.pst file it will not open on the new machine. I get the message "Cannot open this item. Outlook blocked access to this potentially unsafe item." But it's clean, everything went thru Norton first.... how can I get my old emails to transfer over to the new machine and open? -- Stinsoneer

Can't open archive folder
Copy from Jump drive to your Documents folder.
Within Outlook, FileOpenData File......browse to this file PS an Archive file will only include msgs for the archive date, an Archive is NOT a copy of your origonal data file "stinsoneer" wrote in message ...

It should open from the jump drive. State exactly how you're trying to open it. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
