Default pst file access denied

I have a pst file on an XP computer running outlook 2002. Everythings fine.
I copied the pst file to my documents folder on a vista computer running
office outlook 2007. When I try to add the pst file as a data file to office
outlook 2007 I get file access denied-I don't have the permission. The file
security has my account as the owner with full access rights, my account is
also in the local administrator group as well as domain admin group. The
read-only box is not checked. When I try to run scanpst it says the file is
read-only. What gives? thanks.

I can even delete the file. Is it vista or outlook 2007?

You cannot manually add the file to Outlook. You must access it using File,
Open OL Data File in Outlook and you will be able to move anything you want
to your current file or use the newly opened file as your main pst fil .

Remove the read-only attribute.

How did you transfer the PST file between systems?

There is no "ordinary" file copy when transferring a file PC-to-PC. Did
you use a network share? a flash drive? a CD? the Easy Transfer Wizard?
the old disk drive as a slave on the new PC?
