Personal Folders

Please help! I have been trying to migrate all my e-mail messages from Outlook 2000 on my home PC (Win XP Home) to my laptop (Outlook XP, Win XP Home). I create a new personal file and place it on my desktop. Copy all messages in outlook to this new folder then close both the folder and Outlook. When I copy this file to my laptop, Outlook refuses to open the file saying "Access Denied". Any suggestions?

Have you tried the export/import functions from the file menu?

Are you using a CD to transfer the file? If you are make sure you change the properties of the file by unchecking "read only".
