Can't access the file - Outlook 2003
Hi,
On trying to open an email in Outlook 2003, the following message is returned. 'The file ......pst could not be accessed becuase another workstation has modified it. Close and then restart all mail-enabled applications.' No other application was open. The .pst file is held on a network file share - a Buffalo Linkstation - and never used to give any problems at all. Any help gratefully received. Thanks, Steve

Microsoft do NOT recommend or support using a pst file over a network for this very reason. The fact that it "never used to give any problems" just means that you have been VERY lucky. The answer is to use a local pst file (you DO have backups?) and use a batch file to copy the pst file to the network drive when Outlook is closed for backup purposes.

I'll hold the file locally as you suggest. I do weekly full backups of my systems (including off-site backups), so that isn't a problem. Thank again. Regards, Steve
