How to unlock a portion of a file?

message from Kurt Giesselman on 11 Jun 2004
When I open Outlook everything is OK until I go to the calendar...immediate
CTD.

I was going to run the scanpst Inbox Repair Tool and wanted to make a copy
of the file first. When I try to copy it says "A portion of the file is
locked by another program." I have rebooted, looked at the pst file's
properties, etc. I can not figure out how the file got locked or how to
unlock only part of the file.

Help:)
Kurt
