Re: Why can I not Compact folders

Might be that you have a virus checking software that's trying to access the 
OE folders. Or how about one that indexes your folders after closing?

Seems to me that OE is complaining due to some other application trying to 
get at the folders whilst trying to compress them.

And, yes, I'm again guilty of answering a non-JAWS question, but it's hard 
to resist.

Subject: Why can I not Compact folders


ok, this is weird.  Every now and then, I get the following dialog when I
close Outlook distress, o oops, did I say that... I meant, Express.  sorry.
anyway, seriously: here's the msg.

To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take
up to a few minutes.

When I hit ok, though I know what this msg means, can someone explain why on
both! my computers, I get the following message after hitting ok?

The folder is currently in use by Outlook Express or by another application.

Um, no, it, ain't, thank you?

I closed the son of a gun.  I'm really perplexed.  Any reason why this would
be happening?

Chris.
