I have moved to a new pc. On the old machine we used outlook express and
shared the mail file.
I'd like to use outlook on the new machine (its already wizarded me!!) but
can't get it to share a data file.
I've tried to set up a new file on shared folders but it wont let me delete
the original one.
Am i doing the right thing?

heeellpppp please!!
 
You should be able to share the original file from the shared directory (I
assume each Windows user has his/her own login). What steps have you taken
and what exactly happens when you try it? What version of Outlook are you
using?

It's advisable not to try and access the same data file (PST) from two
different instances of Outlook. There are a number of sharing alternatives
available to share contacts etc.
