Yes Outlook was closed. I thought of this & went back to the old

If you get that message, then your PST is probably damaged beyond repair.
If you can, start over using the original PST and perform the operations
form the beginning, taking care not to export or import and making sure
nothing is accessing the PST (like Outlook or a sync program from a PDA)
when you manipulate it.
