I am trying a couple backup solutions for outlook 2003. They are BackRex
and ABF outlook backup. When I run either program they tell me that outlook
is running and needs to be closed. I do a reboot and then run the programs
and still get the same warning. As a side note when I run the "files and
setting transfer wizard" I get an error when it tries to copy the outlook
..pst file, says it can't access it or it is in use by another application
 
is outlook running at all? look in task manager - based on the File and
settings wizard, it sounds like it is.

Thanks, got the fix. The problem is activesync. When I remove my ipaq from
the cradle everything works ok as far as the outlook backup goes. Put the
ipaq back on and activesync fires outlook up again in the back ground.
