MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004Contacts import trouble
Backed up contacts exported from Outlook (Office 2000 SP-3) to hard disk and then copied to CD-RW on W2000 Pro machine. Then loaded them on to new XP Pro base unit but Outlook (also Office 2000 SP-3) won't import them . Keep getting error messages saying "Properties for this information must be defined prior to use" and .pst files are not personal folder files. Any bright ideas? Did you remove the read only attribute the file acquired on the CD?

Any > bright ideas? Tried that, Russ, but error message says "Error occured applying attributes. Access denied." Rather puzzlingly, the same .pst file on the new hard disk has the read only attribute unchecked but the same thing occurs.. ----- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: ---- Please remove it then.
