After moving the Outlook.pst file to a different profile I now get the error msg "You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation" whenever I hit the send/receive button or other buttons. I tried re-installing and detect/repair to no avail.
HELP! Thanks!!!

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem and after reinstalling and trying a dozen other things, I'm still at a loss.

Thanks,

Ken

Nope, I tried everything and couldn't fix it. Ended up wiping out the HHD and reinstalling Windows and MS Office. Then it worked!

Bummer. Thanks for the response.

Is There one administrator who has seen this error and how to fix it without wiping out all the data? I have searched Microsoft's website, used a google search and reinstalled MS Office XP Professional all to no avail. Thanks.

I think I found the problem for anyone who is running into this. Try checking the properties of the following files:

outlook.srs, outlook.dat and views.dat

These files are located in:

c:\document settings\<Username>\application data\microsoft\outlook

What most likely is the problem is that these files now say read-only and you need to change the setting. This should correct the problem.
