What do I do if the file is locked? A file is locked if currently a program is open which uses the file. PST files are usually used by Outlook or ActiveSync, perhaps additional search applications. If Easy2Sync for Outlook runs on the same computer as these programs, the drivers will cooperate and the synchronization will work nevertheless. If Easy2Sync runs on a different computer, you'll get an error message ("File locked" or "File being used by another process"). If a file is locked, you have two options: Use the workaround over a third file (Read it here, unter ...Outlook while it is OPEN). Or make sure, that the file isn't locked. For this you must close Outlook, ActiveSync and all other mail applications. To test if a file is really locked, you can use a trick. In the task properties, you'll the the paths of the PST files. Use the windows explorer to visit the folder where the PST file is. Try renaming the file. If you can rename it, it isn't locked. << Back · Download Freeware Edition · Buy Business Edtion >> |
