We recently switched to Office 365 and up until this month's Tuesday Patch Day, everything was working great. As soon as I installed the patches from 3/12/2013. Ever since then I've had the following issue:
- Launch Outlook 2013
- Launch Lync 2013
- Get the following dialog box: "Outlook Data File: The file <filename> is in use and cannot be accessed. Close any application that is using this file, and then try again. You might need to restart your computer."
- Click Ok to dismiss the dialog box. Everything seems to function normally.
- About three minutes later I get the following dialog box: "We're sorry, but Outlook has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Outlook will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?"
- Click Close. Everything seems to function normally.
Steps taken to attempt to a fix:
- I deleted the Outlook profile and recreated it from scratch. No improvement.
- I rebooted the machine. No improvement.
- I repaired the Outlook data file. No improvement.
Other notes:
- If I start Outlook 2013 by itself, it works fine and no dialog boxes.
- If I start Lync 2013 by itself, it works fine and no dialog boxes.
