How do I run Outlook concurrently in two seperate user accounts?
 

I'm running Office XP Home / MS Office 2003. I'm set up with 3 User Accounts-
#1 Admin, #2 Personal, #3 Business. I want to have Outlook "personal" profile
running in Personal concurrently while Outlook "business" profile running in
Business. This way, I wouldn't have to open and close Outlook every time I
need to switch from checking personal / business emails. I'll just switch
user account. I've tried to set this up, but Outlook will only open in my
personal user account. It will not open in "Admin" or "Business" even if it
is NOT running in "Personal".

You cannot switch Outlook profiles as you can only have 1 open at any one
time. You can have Outlook prompt you for a profile op opening by going into
the Mail Icon in Control Panel and then selecting Profiles and using the
drop down at the bottom.

Thank you Noel-
Is there a way to quick-switch between profiles without having to shut down
/ restart Outlook? Or is it possible to have two Outlook applications on one
computer- one running "Personal" profile and the other running "Business"
profile?

What message store are you referencing in the two Windows users that will
not open? How is it you have both Office XP and Office 2003 installed? (Or
did you mean Windows XP Home?) What do you mean by "will not open"? What
happens when you try? What are you doing to try?

Aside from Brains questions below, you have to shut Outlook down to switch
profiles, if you have Outlook prompt you for a profile on Outlook start then
you can choose which Profile you want to open. Only one application of
Outlook can be open at any one time.

Brian-
My OS is XP Home Edition. I'm using MS Office 2003 version (Word, Excel, PP,
Access, Outlook package). I was wanting to seperate my business use from
personal use via "User Accounts", hoping that I could switch from Personal to
Business during the day via "Switch User" and have Outlook running in both
accounts.

To answer your question, the Outlook application will start OK in my
Personal user account. Conversely, Outlook will not start in Admin or
Business account. To try to start application I have: 1. single-click Quick
Launch; 2. double-click shortcuticon; and 3. searched and found 192K Outlook
Application icon. When I try to start application a message window pops up
saying something that I can't remember- I thinks its "Cannot find" or
something oruther... I will attempt and respond to "what happens" more
accurately.
