Outlook 97 has been running fine.
It was minimized on the Win NT desktop.
A new user mistakenly started up Outlook Express
then exited out.
When Outlook 97 is started now it generates the
error message:
The message file C:\WINNT\OUTLOOK.PST can no
longer be accessed because it has been damaged
by another application.

Is there a way to repair the file or recover the
data?

Try running the Inbox Repair Tool against the .PST file to see if it
finds any errors. Search your drive for a file called scanpst.exe and
run it.
