I just set up Outlook and don't have permissions to make changes. When I try
to change my permissions, I don't have access to that option.
 
What kind of old contact file? What version of Outlook are you using now
and what version of Outlook did you use to create this file?

I believe the old was 2000. I am setting up 2003 Professional with Contact
Mgr. I am logged on as an administrator so I thought that would do it but
the "sharing" options are all grayed out and when I try to open the old files
I get a message saying I don't have permission to open the file.

That means the old file is marked read-only. If it's on a CD, copy it to
your hard drive and remove the read-only attribute. If it's already on the
hard drive, remove the read-only attribute.
