Copy all receiving/sending mail from Outlook 2003 while running

C

Crossh

I need to figure out a way that other users can have access to my Outlook
Archive.pst file while my Outlook is running. Is there a way, using VBA, to
copy (export) all mail sending and receiving while my Outlook is running? I
want to create a .pst that's basically an ongoing archive of everything, that
other users can view while my Outlook is open. My Archive.pst is locked when
my Outlook is open. Or can I somehow automate a daily copy of my archive.pst
when opening or closing? Thanks for any help.

Any PST that you open to copy the messages to will also be locked, even if
closed, until you exit Outlook. You can't do what you want to do.

Is there a way to create a seperate new .pst during the Application_Startup
or Aplication_Quit Events? Then the other users can import this new .pst
into their Outlook.

Startup can be used to create a new PST using AddStore. That locks the PST
until after Outlook is closed (usually for a couple of minutes after Outlook
is closed).

Quit fires when Outlook objects are out of scope and can't be used for
anything Outlook related like that.

Anything you do with a PST file when Outlook is running locks that PST file.
You cannot do what you want to do.
