Outlook 2010

I just purchased a new computer and I backed up my calendar and notes in outlook to a external hard drive, pst file. I installed office 2010 and went to my calendar and tried to import my back up from my ext. HD and it says I don't have permission, access denied. what do I have to do to get access and permission, I am the administor.

Easiest thing to do is just replace the outlook. pst file on the system with the one you want to use. If still having problems, take ownership (http://www.blogsdna.com/2173/add-take-ownership-option-in-right-click-context-menu-of-windows-7.htm)

thanks for quick response, appreciate it but how do you replace the.pst file. Not very good at this stuff if you could give me step by step how to do, i would greatly appreciate it, thanks again

Just copy it to the same location as the old file and you'll be asked if you want to replace the existing file. Say yes.

right after i sent you that email about how to do it, i copied and paste the .pst file from my ext. hd and put it on my desktop and went from there and that worked but, always a but, LOL, it doubled all entries so how do i erase all dups besides doing it indiviually.

I already told you. Replace the old one with the new one.
