When I attempt to backup Outlook 2007 I continue to receive message CANNOT
COPY OUTLOOK: THE PROCESS CANNOT ACCESS THE FILE BECAUSE ANOTHER PROCESS HAS
LOCKED A PORTION OF THE FILE.

Sorry I am posting this question again as my old account's e-mail address
had changed and I wasn't sure how to amend e-mail address.

what method are you using to create the backup? do you have a pda or other
application that accesses outlook data?

Hi Diane

Yes, I have a Palm Pilot but it doesn't access Outlook, I use a different
program for updating my databases on the Palm Pilot. The only other
application that would access Outlook data is my Motorola cell phone which
updates through a program called Motorola Phone Tools but these programs
aren't running most of the time. I find if I change the directory that
Outlook will backup into, it will work fine but next day when I try to backup
I get that error message

I have the same exact problem too. My error occurs when I close down Outlook
and the automatic backup runs (every 7 days, I think).

I am experiencing the same problem. Might it have to do with the indexing service?

Any help?

Thanks!
Barry
