I have a .pst on the file server(not exchange just a win2k box with a
shared directory) and i want my second machine to be able to access
it...i know that both will not be able to access it at the same time..i
am not interested in commercial/third party apps...i just want the other
computer to be able to use that remote .pst in the primary window(aka in
the outlook today area and not as another folder)...how do i link the
second computer to the pst? I do not want to copy it..i want any
changes the second computer makes to be reflected in the pst so the
first computer when it comes up see the changes..:) Any questions let
me know..:)

May God Bless you and everything you touch.

My "foundation" verse:
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
 
Just use Outlook's File | Open command to open the .PST in the folder list
on the second machine.

hi, I was looking to solve same problem with my computers, one desktop and one laptop I wanted to share same outlook pst file between 2 computers, and yes it is possible there is a program called OsaSync http://www.vaita.com/index.asp at first I didn't think much of it, but I did try and it works with outlook , 2 computers sharing the same pst file constantly in sync automatically. I was so happy with the program so I did promise to the tech support that I will let people know about it, so here I am
if you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
thank you

John
 
1) If he does this... and that Outlook file is open on #1 computer...
will he, in fact, be able to see and modify that .pst?
2) Assuming BOTH computers can be made to use the same .pst (but, I
assume, not modified symultaneously) I assume no problem will develope when
sending and receiving mail?
 
1) No. I think he'd get an error message...not sure what it says exactly
because I've never tried it. (Google should turn up the answer :-) )

2) As long as the mail account is not set to leave messages on the server,
I don't see any problems with doing a send/receive from either computer.
