Thank you for your suggestion.
I was trying to open files that I can had exported.  So when I "imported
the files" there was no problem.

The .pst file is read-only.  Writing a file to a cd-r sets the read-only
attribute.  Copying the file off of the cd-r to a hard drive does not
clear
the read-only attribute.  Right click on the .pst file, choose
properties,
and uncheck  read-only.

I am in the process of transferring outlook pst files from an old
computer with windows 98se to the new computer with windows XP home
edition.

When I go to open (with outlook) the pst files saved on a cd  on the old
computer in the new computer I get the message "Access denied.  You do
not have permission to open ....."
