Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for IBM Lotus Domino - Restore NST file

I have been using Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for IBM Lotus Domino. I have saved e-mail information saved in an NST file created by this Lotus add-in.

One day I went to set-up my Lotus notes profile in Outlook again, and I relink the Domino connector to deliver to my old NST file. This process worked before. However this time was prompted with the error "The local message file can't be accessed. The file is already in use by another user." I have tried everything under the sun to try to restore the file ie. rename the nst file and reset the profile etc.

Can you provide help so that I can restore this file as it has very important addresses and email locked up in the file. Thank you,

In addition, I would try to create a New Windows user profile adn try again.

Lastly, check the startup process via MSconfig, and disable anything not required.

Also check the tasks running in task manager - one of them may be outlook related and causing issues.

I hope this helps !

Not necessary. The NST file just represents the underlying Notes data to Outlook. If you delete it, the information still exists in Notes, and Outlook should just pull it in again.
