Thank you for that information. What do you suggest I do to make Outlook
work as I desire (multiple users on multiple computers)?

Hi. I have three home computers and five family e-mail addresses. I want
to
get Outlook 2000 working on all computers for all five family members so
that
no matter which computer a family member is on they can open Outlook 2000
and
do e-mail. My home network is working with file sharing, etc. I thought
I
would just put the five *.pst files in the Shared Documents folder on the
"host" computer and then configure Outlook for each user on each computer
with a profile and the path name to each *.pst on the host computer Shared
Documents folder thus accessing the file through the network. Will this
work? Is there a better way? What is the right/efficient way? I would
think that this is a typical issue. Please help. Thanks!
