In your OE go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down
where OE is storing its data.
Close OE.
Open Windows Explorer.
* click Tools | Folder Options | View
and set it to Show hidden files and folders.
Go to your store folder and copy all of the DBX files to an empty Windows
folder. Make sure you include Folders.dbx.
Close Windows Explorer and start the other *Identity*.
Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down the path
to the data,
Click Change
IMPORTANT WARNING: For the next two steps decline any offer to move the
files or folders or messages.
Enter the other store folder path and click Okay.
Close OE.
Reopen it and answer 'No' to an offer to move things.
Go back to the first OE and Choose File | Import | Messages and import from
the other store directory.

When in the office you connect through a domain and use one Identity.
On the site, you connect ???????? and use another Identity.
So why aren't you using the same message store for both Identities?

thanks Jim but I am only using the laptop I don't use A desktop machine
as well I have tried using a file to transfer the messages to but it
doesn't work that well.
I have to keep transferring messages back & forth constantly as I can be
connected to the domain for 2hrs in the morning then go on site then
back on the domain
so I have to keep transferring messages both ways 3 or 4 times a day.
What I need to do is be able to use the same identity when I am
connected to the domain or standalone on site ,most of my messages are
cad drawings or pictures which I need to be able to access all the time
for working on & sending back to clients

The only way to do that is to make the laptop a "clone" of the Desktop
machine. For how to clone Outlook Express on two machines, see the
info at this link:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/bu_full.htm

And, any changes to the Desktop setup, such as adding/deleting local
folders, or adding/deleting a newsgroup subscription will require a
"Re-cloning" of the laptop. It's not too much work but it can become a
PITA trying to keep two machines in sync. Do you really have to do
this? Why not just copy the desired messages to a Transfer folder for
this purpose? If you want to try that, see the info in the last
paragraph at this link for details:

outlook express when my laptop top is connected to my server or when I
am off site with it , as at the moment I cannot see any emails I
received when connected to the server when I am not in the office &
visa versa
