Hello All,
My goal is to open two .pst files on machine B that were created on machine
A. The Office software is the same on both computers (Office 2003).
Machine A:
I had two .pst files (approx 300MB each) that were created via Outlook 2003
on Machine A. I also password protected both of the files. I never had any
issues using or accessing the data. I needed to move to the data to another
computer in separate location. Side NOTE: I would be using a different log
in account, connecting to a different exchange server. I burned the .pst
files to a cd. I then copied the burned files to a separate directory on
machine A. I was able to open the files after entering the password for the
..pst files.
Machine B:
I set up my outlook profile with my "new" account, connecting to a different
exchange server. Using the same software, Outlook 2003. I then copied the
..pst files (created from Machine A) from the burned cd to the default
outlook
directory. The READ-Only attribute was unchecked. I receive the following
error when I attempt to add/open both of
the .pst files:
"filename.pst is not a personal folders file"
I read that another individual from another newsgroup stated that there
appeared to be a solution on www.experts-exchange.com. I, like that
individual am not a member for that site. Hopefully, one of you is a
member.
I need to access the data. Please advise. Thanks
