I just purchased and installed Office 2003 on a
standalone (not networked) computer. I had Outlook 2000
on my old computer and wanted to import my old mailbox,
contacts, etc. So I saved the .pst files onto a CD and
then tried to use the "Open" command in Outlook 2003 to
import them in. For all of the files (mailbox, archives,
contacts), I got an error message: FILE ACCESS IS DENIED.
YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PERMISSION TO ACCESS THE FILE
D:\[FILE NAME].PST.

There's no way that any permission were ever set up for
these files as I'm the only one who has ever used either
computer and either version of Outlook. How do I correct
this?
 
Copying the file to CD marked it as Read Only, you will need to copy the
file from the CD to your hard drive and remove the Read Only attribute by
right clicking the file > selecting Properties and un-checking Read Only
