Problems importing pst file...
One of the users in our office tried to open Outlook & recieved an error message that indicated that the pst was gone or corrupt. After running the Inbox repair tool to no avail, as well as picking up a copy of their pst from yesterday's backup, I'm still unable to do anything with it! When trying to import it, I get the message "Properties for this information service must be defined prior to use" & after hitting ok, I get a message that the file isn't a personal folders file! I have read several long-winded posts in other forums, which basically have given me no answer. I am using Window98 & Outlook 2000 in POP3 mode, & using Ipswitch's Imail server. The file was never copied to a CD & doesn't have the read-only box checked, either. Help!

If the backup comes from a CDR, copy it to you hd first. Then right click the file, properties, and make sure the read only is not checked.
