copy *.pst, maybe a hidden file, to cd.
From cd copy to hd, ensure read only flag is off, then in OL open pst "tonyR" wrote in message ... First time problem here and need a genius to help me please.

HEEELP! How do I back up Emails
I've had the same concern as Tony. I found the pst file in Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Outlook and saved it to CD. But when I then look at the directory of the CD, this backed up file is only 64kb and shows it was last modified 12/4/2003. How do I open the .pst on the CD from Outlook to be sure it actually contains this month's emails?

You cannot open a pst, unless the pst file has full read/write access. ie it
has to be copied to hd and the read only flag turned off, before opening in OL.
