Michael... thanks for the instructions which I have followed and hope will
have solved the problem by the time the compacting notice shows itself again.
You are correct in that the message is actually "This folder is currently in
use by OD or by another application." Again, thanks, Harriet

Is it actually saving that a file is in use? That's a common problem.
Open OE and immediately do a File, Folders, Compact All. It should work
then.

Afte compacting, I receive a message that another instance of OE is
running
at the same time. I don't know how that happens and wonder how to get
rid of
that error ...
