You do know that ExMAPI and .Net languages don't work nicely together,
don't you?

What was the code that caused this problem in the first place?

"Unable to display the folder, Microsoft Office Outlook could not
access
the pecified folder location. Another application closed unexpectedly
while using your Personal Folders file xxxxx\xxxx.ost To precent
potemtial damage to your Personal Folders file, it will not be

Try searching slipstick.com for "OST", there's a lot of info on there
that might help. http://www.slipstick.com/problems/scanpst.htm has info
on fixing PST files, there's some stuff about ost there too. Searching
support.microsoft.com gives even more suggestions.
