Opening up MSG Files that are saved on an external hard-drive?

Asked by NobbyGee in Outlook Groupware Software, Office & Productivity Software, Microsoft Applications

Tags: , , , ,

We are using Office 2003 with XP SP2 and OFFICE 2007 with Vista

Sometimes, a user will save an e-mail as a .msg file on the server (B:
drive) and when they or anyone else tries to open it we get a "File does not
exist" error message in Outlook. See attach file

Copying the file to another drive or renaming it continues to bring the error.

The only way the person can view it is to close down outlook and then open up the file, but if they need to open it up again it brings up the message.

Any ideas i take it Outlook is locking the file somewhere but it is annoying for the user having to shut outlook down.
