Activesync starting outlook and locking .pst file

I am trying to run (try) a couple different backup programs for outlook
2003. The problem I am running into is that I think activesync is starting
outlook behind the scene causing an error from the backup programs (programs
state that outlook is running even on a reboot).
Also I am getting an error that the .pst file could not be backed up because
it is in use or locked by another program. Again I think this is
activesync.

Thanks for any thought or ides on this.

Hi,
Yes, ActiveSync does lock the PST file while you are synchronizing. To work
around it you may want to use an app like KillSync from
www.cewindows.net/applications/ to end ActiveSync and then you can complete
your backup.
