Any PST that you open to copy the messages to will also be locked, even if
closed, until you exit Outlook. You can't do what you want to do.

I need to figure out a way that other users can have access to my Outlook
Archive.pst file while my Outlook is running. Is there a way, using VBA,
to
copy (export) all mail sending and receiving while my Outlook is running?
I
want to create a .pst that's basically an ongoing archive of everything,
that
other users can view while my Outlook is open. My Archive.pst is locked
when
my Outlook is open. Or can I somehow automate a daily copy of my
archive.pst
when opening or closing? Thanks for any help.
