Yea. That only took me about 3 years to figure out.

This problem is worsened if you have a handheld device that is left in the
cradle when you close Outlook as only the Interactive part of Outlook closes
then.  You have to pop the device (or kill the sync
software) to allow Outlook to finish closing.

  Yes.  Outlook apparently does not actually close a PST file when you
choose the "Close" option.  It keeps the file handle open, and the file
locked, until you exit Outlook.  Whether this poor design or poor
implementation, I do not know.  Every version of Outlook I have ever used
has had this problem.  Well, I'm not sure if I've tested it using 2003, but
2002, 2000, 98, and 97 all do.
