MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2007can I make outlook portable; on my jump drive
I want to use my outlook contacts and tasks at home or office...how to I save to jump drive so they can be portable It seems to me that if you copy your PST file to the thumb drive and then change your profile on each machine to use that location as the default path it should work fine (maybe slower than normal) assuming the drive is large enough to handle it. Neil >I want to use my outlook contacts and tasks at home or office...how to I >save > to jump drive so they can be portable > I want to use my outlook contacts and tasks at home or office...how > to I save to jump drive so they can be portable With Outlook closed, copy your PST to the jump drive and take it home with you. Put it on the hard drive at home and open with that Outlook. While you can actually make Outlook use the PST directly on the jump drive, there are some side-effects that you could see if you use the exact same PST with both PCs, shuttling it back and forth. You'd probably lose the use of any rules it contains, for example.  SignatureBrian Tillman Is there any way to keep the rules when moving the pst between computers? This used to be no problem- why isn't there a way to do this now?

If Exchange is not part of your mail profile, your rules will be in your PST and they should be there if you configure your PST properly on the destination PC. You may need to open each and reset the condition to get them to work again, but they should be visible, at any rate. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
