I've just upgraded to Vista and, at first glance, am very pleased save for a few niggles. Most importantly, however, Outlook will no longer archive folders because, it says, I don't have the permission required. Needless to say I cannot access the archive folder either which is very bad news. Nor do I, apparently, have access to the various folders along the path to check the properties of the archive.pst itself.
Any ideas?
Kind regards Bill

If your account has admin rights, take ownership of the folder and then set your security rights "crossfire"

I am the sole PC user and have all rights necessary. Or at least I had with Windows XP prior to upgrading to Vista last week. Taking ownership as you suggest is a non-starter because I'm unable to access the folder - due, you guessed it, because I don't have the required permission!
Further help would be greatly appreciated.

"crossfire" I am having the same problems and would like to find the solution also. Would you please let me know if you find the answer. Thanks

Go into safe mode (Reboot + F8 Key after the Dell Screen (or whatever system you have) but before vista loads) and select the file you want..

I had the same problem with another file and it was as easy as going into safe mode and fixing it that way.

Sorry, Knewt-Ccob, I've only just seen your post. I also see that NeedsHelpASAP has provided a work-around with which I agree. In my case, however, I was eventually able to access the correct folder and change ownership.
Regards Bill
