Hi all,
Many thanks to Andrew Hodgson for giving me the vital clue on this one.
The problem was that I'd had Outlook Express running whilst I was coppying
the files across. I'd forgotten about that.
Having copied them across again, without Outlook Express running, I was able
to import the whole lot without any further problems.
Many thanks,
Cheers,
Terry

control of the files even though it is shut. Try one of the following:

and copy them - without running Outlook Express.

have NTFS permissions set on the folders use administrator account.
