hi, i am hoping someone with the 'know-how' will be able
to help me. i use outlook to organise all my contacts and
diary, and have made a back-up on my computer hard drive.
However, i am wanting to make a copy of my personal folder
and all its contents for back-up onto a re-writeable CD
for safe-keeping. I have a CD-writer, but am having great
difficulty doing this. I have "burned" a copy of my backup
folder onto a re-writeable, but then cannot seem to open
this info.

I am hoping someone will be able to help.

Thanks.
 
what i didn't say was the reason it gives i can't open it
is i think because it says it is "read-only" - how can i
get around this.
thanks.
 
Copy the file to the hard drive and right click on it, select properties,
and then remove the checkmark from Read-only.
