Hi,
I have had a problem with outlook 2003-SP2 (in win xp) for quite some time
now and it is becoming very annoying. This is what happens.
When I open outlook I get a dialog on screen saying "The file
C:\...\outlook.pst (outlook.pst is my main pst file where all mail is
delivered) is in use and could not be accessed. Close any application that is
using this file, and then try again" The dialog title is SetPoint. I just
click away this dialog and (after entering my password)outlook works fine
except for two things 1) the adressbook is not available and 2) forms cannot
be accessed.
If I close outlook it is automatically restarting itself and this second
time around the adressbook and forms are available. It seems to me that
outlook is trying to open outlook.pst two times every time I open outlook.
In addition it seems that the outlook.exe is never closed when I exit the
application. I have to close by ending the process (in task manager) to
really close outlook fully.
Also, I should say that the outlook.pst was originally created on another
computer and moved to the current place. I have changed the location of this
file in the control panel (mail setup) and all paths are to the correct
location.
I would be grateful for any assistance because I have been putting up with
this for a looong time now.
Thanks.
