What is your code?
Did you create the right registry key? The article talks about Outlook 2000,
that is what "9.0" in the key name refers to. In case of Outlook 2002, it
should be "10.0", Outlook 2003 - "11.0", etc.
Try to display a message box immediatley after calling RemoveStore and
before deleting the PST file to let the Windows message loop run.

Just out of curiosity, why do you create a PST file if you want to delete
it?

Yes, PST store folder has been removed, but a problem is *.pst file
hasn't been released durring Outlook session.
This is a problem.

Thank you,

Do you see that PST store removed from Outlook when you call RemoveStore?

Well, maybe a problem is with releasing a *.pst file. I set up that
registry key, I added new PST store using Namespace.AddStore, then
call Namespace.RemoveStore. but PST file didn't released during
Outlook Session.
Also, I would like to mention that *.PST files store on Network
folder.

Sorry for my dummy question, maybe that problem is that Outlook
session is running?

How to solve this problem without exiting Outlook?

Thanks so much.

I don't see what the problem is - you set that registry key, add a new
PST
store using Namespace.AddStore, then call Namespace.RemoveStore. The PST
file should be released. Is that not the case?

Thanks so much for quick response, but the problem is a locked file
during the Outlook session. I can't completely to delete *.pst folder.
I know that I have to use Folder.Delete() method, but I can't. I've
heard about Extended MAPI, but I am not really familiar with C or C++,
do you have any papers or articles or solutions examples for this
problem.
Thank you so much.

By default, PST provider keeps a PST file referenced and loaded for 30
minutes. Or until the PST provider dll itself gets unloaded (e.g. when
the
host process terminates). You might want to play with the registry key
mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=222328

Hello,

I am new in Office programming. Sorry if I will repeat with my
question,
but
after long searches, I couldn't find a solution to my problem.
Problem: I am developing shared add - ins for MS Outlook 2003, my
application will create *.pst file with calendar folder and that
*.pst
file
will publish on server (Not Exchange server). But after i publish
*.pst
file
on server user B, cannot view this file, because is locked. I used
RemoveStore method to remove a folder, but it didn't solve my
problem.
How can I solve my problem?

Thank you so much
Reda

PS. I don't like any commercial 3rd parties tools.
