I can't get Outlook 2007 to import my exported calendar from another
computer and older Outlook. Running Vista. Get file access denied -
permission to access the file error message. I created this file so I don't
know why I can't access it.

First, never export to or import from a PST. There's no need.

Where is the PST? If it's on a CD, copy it to your hard drive (My
Documents, for example), start Outlook, and click File>Open>Outlook Data
File. Browse to the PST, select it, and click OK.

I followed your suggestions but I still get the error message when I try to
access my .pst file ... File access is denied. Don't have permission to
access file e:\calendar2007.pst. This calendar file is from my old computer
which I don't have access to anymore. What do I need to get access to the
file and then into outlook 2007?

What is the E drive here? Is it as second hard drive? Did you make sure
the file atttributes don't say "Read only"? (Right-click the file and
choose Properties.)
