MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006export-import contacts read only
I am trying to export outlook 2000 contacts from my laptop to update my pc which uses outlook 2002. I believe my problem is that the file on the CD, when backed up, shows it as read only. However when I see the file on the laptop, it is not read only. I cant import into the pc from the cd, and I cant change the file on the cd. Any recommendations. I have done this before, but its been a while and I easily forget things these days. Thank you for the help  Signaturebg Exporting and importing are never the right way to transfer Outlook data. They are, however, good ways to lose data. Assuming you've already incurred and can live with that damage, you must move this PST file to a hard drive, remove its read only attribute in Windows Explorer, then open it in Outlook: File > Open > Outlook Data file in order to retrieve whatever information it may still contain.

Most people just burn it on a CD since its a large file to email, and you have to reset Outlook's Security settings to access it from email.
