I was reading the earlier post about moving the .pst file to where ever you
want it. So that provoked a question. If I was to burn my .pst file on a CD,
and then took that CD to work and opened it from the CD in Outlook at work.
And then when I removed the CD after using the program, would any of my info,
such as emails, stay on that computer? I know it would prolly cause problems
with the program accessing info from the CD and not being able to write back to
the disk, but lets just say if I wanted to just have my information there to
reference to...not make changes.

I hope that makes sense....not really important, just curious.

Yes you can certainly do that, however you cannot open a pst from a CD.
You must copy it to your HDD and remove the Read-Only attribute before
Outlook will recognise it.
