Thanks for clarifying that point. It might only be useful if I should use it
as some sort of alternate access restricted to self (still hard to be two
places at same time) and another machine backup in case one goes down. That
is having a second machine set up to constantly be backing up a copy of the
pst from the first machine where the shared pst exists. (probably a bad idea
to be backing up while it is being accessed from either)

From long ago, you could run more than one machine against the same

true?

A pst can only be accessed by a single instance of OL

at any one time. A pst file can be accessed by more than one instance of
Outlook, but not at the same time!
