MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2005Can't attach a pst file to an email
Trying to email my contacts from home to work. Using XP, Outlook 2003 w/SP 2. When I export a file to desktop in pst format, the icon appears on the desktop. Then when I create an email and try to attach it, it says operation failed. Why can't I attach the pst and email it? It worked for me at work today when I exported my business contacts to a colleague's computer. Thanks Exporting is never the correct way to create a PST file. You cannot send it because Outlook has retained its lock on it. Create a new PST file. Copy your data into it. Exit Outlook completely. Then you can send it.
