Hi,

This question's probably been asked before, but I've
searched for 20 min through the old posts and can't find
anything, so excuse the repetition.

I have a company laptop with Office XP and an external
hard drive I want to use for personal documents, email,
etc. and a new Office 2003 I can load to that external
drive. On install, 2003 wants to replace OL2002 on the C
drive. It will let me keep all other Office components,
and accepts "install to E:", but balks at Outlook. The
checkbox to keep the Outlook 2002 on the C drive is grayed
out. What is it about Outlook that I can't have 2 versions
on 2 different drives, and is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance...

David
 
No, you can only have one version of Outlook installed at a time. This is
because Outlook installs and integrates with several system components where
can only exist one version at a time for.

Roady,

Thanks for the info. I assume your answer applies to 2
versions on 2 separate drives, right?

How about 2 "profiles" under outlook xp? Will that
separate my personal email from the company email/exchange
server? Is "profiles" the right word I'd search under in
Help for the how-to-do-it setup?

David
 
It applies to the OS no matter how many drives you may have.

You can setup 2 profiles indeed. You can do this in Control Panel-> Mail->
button Show Profiles... Contact your ISP/Exchange admin for server details.
