Outlook.pst cannot be accessed... problem occurs at random intervals
Several times a day Outlook stops working. When I try to look in my Inbox folder I get the error message:
"Cannot display the folder. The file C:\Users\Alec\AppData\Loca l\Microsof t\Outlook\ Outlook.ps t is in use and cannot be accessed. Close any application that is using this file, and then try again. You might need to restart your computer."
Send and receive also stops working.
The problem goes away on its own after several minutes but recurs a few hours later.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
I am getting an error that states something similar:
"C:\Users\ChristopherHughe s\AppData\ Local\Micr osoft\Outl ook\Outloo k.pst cannot be accessed."
I've downloaded the process moniter, but how can I tell if it is in use by another pogram, and then correct the issue?
