I clicked through the making of an PST file in Outlook 2003 and when i go to import it back in after a system reinstall, i get access is denied.

I did not set a password for the pst.

If you can help it would be great

please reply to my gmail address.

Has nothing to do with passwords. More likely the .pst file is marked "read/only" or it's open by another process.

YOur right Leo, i found out that when you burn it to a CD it marks it "read ONly" i copied it off the CD and checked the properties and it was not checked as read only. But after checking and then unchecking the box, it worked

i choosed Compressible Encryption to export pst, i formatted and now i can't import my pst :(
