I have Outlook 2007 which has a 4Gb archive pst file stored on a file server, there are other archive pst's that I can open but this one wont, the error is: 'cant open 'xxx file' it is in use and cannot be accessed'

The thing is it isnt in use, i can copy it onto the local machine and open it, i can rename it etc just cant seem to open it from the network.

I have restarted the PC, tried a new outlook profile but no luck.

Would be grateful for any suggestions?

Thanks
