Hi,

I have backed up my Outlook folders to CD. After copying
it to my hard drive I try to open it and it comes up as
an Email attachment if I click on it it just opens
another Email Word editor. I have tried selecting open
with....and choosing Outlook but that doesn't work.

Where am I going wrong. A novice.. but am trying very
hard to sort it.

Many Thanks
Caroline
 
How are you trying to open it? Are you using the Outlook
File->Open->Personal Folders File? You cannot just click on it and open the
file. Outlook has to do the job for you.
