How to troubleshoot a "Path/file access error" message or how to troubleshoot slow Outlook performance.

Problem:
An error message "Path/file access error" is displayed, or Outlook runs slowly.

Solution:
Disable logging in the add-in, if enabled.

Comments:
The log files provide debugging information for the engineers here. However, some users do not have permsission to write to the C:\ drive, and this error is displayed when that access is attempted.

In addition, some users "My Documents" folder is actually on a network path even though it appears local. It's possible that the recording of all the actions the add-in is taking is what's causing Outlook to slow down.

To disable logging, go to (in Outlook) Tools...Sperry Software...Options. Clear the checkbox that says "Enable writing to the log file."
