Restoration from archive backup
Hi!
I had to re-install all software on my laptop and tried to backup my Outlook 2007 files first. Now, I cannot get the archive backup file to import into Outlook 2007. I have tried various things. My most recent attempt was to rename the file to Outlook and put it where Outlook 2007 supposedly looks for contacts, etc. However, now I receive the following error message: Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file c:\Users\Lynn Schnaufer\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook. pst. I search Microsoft's website for this error message with no luck. I also tried the scanpst.exe repair tool but received a message that, although 11 errors were identified, the file could not be repaired because it was read-only. So, then I tried to remove the read-only attribute using Properties with no success. So, then I tried to remove the read-only attribute using run: cmd attrib -r -s c:\archive backup (as instructed on Microsoft's website) but kept getting an error message about incorrect parameters. Please help. I am desperate not to lose my Contacts and Date Book. -- Lynn |

Please help. I am desperate not to lose my Contacts and Date Book. -- Lynn See here on how to restore Outlook data properly: How to backup and restore Outlook http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx There is out-dated information on some of these pages, specifically with regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007. The main points to note: 1. Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one version to another - all you need to do is to copy the pst file, with Outlook closed. 2. Do NOT paste the copied pst file into the default location - paste into (for example) your Documents folder and then do File-Open-Outlook Data File within Outlook. |
