Cannot backup outlook2002. Get error message "Cannot copy outlook. The
process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion
of the file. I'm trying to use the backup addon that MS has for outlook.
Its ovious that something is accessing the pst file, have tired to shut down
all virus scans, firewalls, spy scans etc. I'm totaly lost now? Any
suggestions?

Thanks....
 
Some anti-spam add-ins/utilities will cause this. I had Earthlink's do this so I
uninstalled it and that resolved the problem.

Hope this helps,
