This is a follow-up to another thread where I asked about Outlook 2003 and
people on my XP network being unable to open PST files created on other
versions of Outlook.

Same user goes onto a PC running 2000Pro and Outlook 2003, her account
allows her to see old PST file, no matter where it is.

She logs onto her XP PC, she can't. She tried to create a new PST on local
drive and told she does not have permissions.

Central office LAN says she never had rights, huh???

On XP network, can you prohibit user and/or group from using an Outlook PST?

Thanks.
 
Give the file permissions so only an adminstrator and the user can open the
file (I'm assuming you are running NTFS and not FAT32)
 
Steve:

I don't think it is file permissions, unless they have me as a LAN Admin
with rights to see everything, ha :).

I think it is user permissions, here is why.

This user cannot even create a new PST file, be it on the network or local.
Yet she can create Word documents on the network and delete things.

She can also open the file when she is logged into a 2000 Pro box on Outlook
2003.

But she can't do it from her XP box, although I can from the XP PC from her
PC.
