I archived some .pst files to a CD-ROM but unable to load the files.

A. When Outlook opens a PST file it needs write access so you will beunable to load a file from a read-only media such as a CD-ROM drive.

To resolve simply copy the file to a writeable media and read accordingly.

Messages can be send to a .pst file by using Outlooks archive function. Toopen with Outlook 98 select File - Open - Personal Folders File.

If you store the PST files in a ZIP file on a CD they can be accessed (aswhen you access a ZIP file it is decompressed locally which would be writable).
