Solved: Outlook Permissions
I have been backing up the Outlook folder that contains the .pst files for Outlook to our File Server. Just had a computer crash and had to reload everything. The old Outlook was 2003. When I reloaded the computer I put 2007 on it. I have tried copying the old .pst file, importing the .pst and it keeps coming up with "File access denied. You do not have permission required to open the file". I even loaded 2003 onto another computer and tried to access this backup file with the same result. I am the adminstrator and have the highest permissions. I have even tried it under the user's permissions of the person's computer that crashed.

Did you give ownership of the folder to the user in question?

That's what I thought but the permissions where good. I had my tech guy come in and it turns out the message from Windows was wrong. All it was that when it copied over to the file server the copied file for some reason became a "read only" file. We simply unchecked the read only and everything came across just fine. Thanks
