I am writing a DOS batch file to automate NTbackup in Windows 2000
Professional. Outlook.pst won't back up if Outlook is running. I want to
close Outlook from a batch file so that NTbackup can back up the file.

I can use a freeware program called pskill.exe to close Outlook, but it
kills Outlook even if it is in the middle of downloading email, which seems
like a bad idea. Is there a command line option in Outlook that would close
the application after allowing it to finish all of it's processes?
 
suggest you post in an Outlook or Windows newsgroup. this newsgroup is
devoted to MS Access database software.
