MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2007Choose Profile
If I forget to unplug my Pocket PC unit, starting Outlook 2003 always opens to my profile. It does not give the option of selecting a profile. As such, my wife cannot get into her stuff at all. Is there a startup command line switch that would force Outlook to open to her profile even if the PocketPC is attached? (Thinking of making that a shortcut.) Thank you. No, because your Pocket PC is keeping Outlook open (at least in the background) and Outlook can only run 1 profile at a time.

Thank you, Roady. I'm not asking to have more than one profile open at the same time... I just want my wife to be able to open her Outlook calendar & email if my smartphone is connected for recharging. > No, because your Pocket PC is keeping Outlook open (at least in the > background) and Outlook can only run 1 profile at a time.

I was really looking forward to moving away from the Palm OS thinking that Outlook, Win Mobile, PPC, etc would be better to work with. But it seems to be one limitation after another.

You can leave your PDA connected and change Outlook profiles as long as you close the sync application to kill the open connection.
