I am the administrator and have my wife set-up as standard user. When
logged in as my wife, I started Outlook 2003 and it gave me an error message
- something to the effect that I didnt have access to the default PST file.
It was pointing and trying to open up my own PST File (Adminstrator). ?? Why?

On my XP machine I was able to have 2 users and separate pst files for each
user.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps I did something wrong when I
installed Outlook 2003 on my Vista PC?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
Dear Pulgas,

if you disable (only for a test) the "Advanced User Management in Windows
Vista" does it work now?

Sometimes it is important to run Outlook "as Administrator" to open
Outlook. (Right mouseclick on the Outlook.exe => run as administrator)

Did you try this?

I am at work right now but will try this one I get home.

"run Outlook "as Administrator" to open
Outlook"

I did try this from within my wife's user account. It didnt help. It still
tried to open my Pst file and gave me the error.

Just as a note, I am for the first time trying to open up Outlook from
within my wife's user id. I had not actually set her up yet. But I did
install Outlook about 7 months ago and have been using it under my login
since that time. Not sure if that has anything to do with it?

But like I said, this worked fine in XP. 2 different user log-ins
pointing to 2 different Pst files.

thanks.
 
did you make a new profile for her in control panel, mail.
