When you copied it to the CD, it became read-only. When you copied it back, it stayed read only. Outlook needs to be able to write to the file. Remove the read-only attribute, and you'll be fine.
So the answer is "Yes, it's possible to burn PST files to CD and still use them, after you copy them back off the CD and change them to not be read-only". -- Drew ******************************** Visit http://www.drewncapris.net!

Is it possible to burn PST files to a CD and still use them? We have some users with very large PST files that are gobbling up server space. We tried burning a PST file to a CD, but we were then unable to access it. Even after copying the file back to their home drive and trying to take ownership of it. Has anybody had any success with this? Exchange 5.5 SP4, NT 4.0 SP6. Thanks.
