Did you try right clicking on the file and checking the properties to make sure it's not read only? (if you copied it to a CD or something, this could be the case)....if it's on a CD, first move it onto your hard drive, then remove the read only attribute, THEN import it into Outlook.

I cannot import my address book from Outlook/Office 2000 on my old computer (Windows ME) to my new computer (Windows XP) using the same Office 2000. I get the message "you don't have permission to save to this folder." Is this an outlook problem or an XP problem? I have imported exported this address book to many computers including some using outlook express. Ideas? Thanks! S.B.
