Vista - Transfer of Outlook Calender

I have a new computer with Vista 64bit installed. My old computer is XP. The problem I have is with my Outlook Calendar and Contacts. I exported my calender and contacts has a pst to my external HD. I tried to import the files to my Outlook to the new computer, excess denied, you do not have permission. How do I give permission to excess these files. The old Office is 2003 and the new is Office 2007. Thank you in advance. John

Hi Langsey,
Welcome to the Vista Forums,
Did you use the Outlook 2007 Import & export wizard whilst running as Administrator?

I used the export to file from O 2003. I tried both pst and excel. I tried to import to O 2007 using import from the file drop-down I was administer in both computers. I was able to import from my laptop O2003 okay, but my contacts and calender are missing some contacts and appointments that I had on the desktop. I downloaded my document file to an external drive. The download went fine except for permission on the outlook files. Weird. I just transferred the files to a flash stick from the laptop. I wouldn't think there would be any difference between and external drive and flash stick. I hope I wasn't to confusing.

Let us know how you go.

My problem has been corrected. I moved the calender and contact files (.pst) from my external hard drive via a flash stick onto the internal drive of my computer. They did then opened up in Outlook 2007. I sill don't know why I couldn't get permission to migrate the files from my external drive. I may never know. Thanks JMH for your help.
