MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / November 2005How can my wife and I each use Outlook with separate address book
I've got XP Media Center edition, Office 2003. I have not been able to search my weay to answering this. Exactly how do I set up to allow each of us to have our own Outlook Address books - we have separate email addresses. Outlook does not use address books. If by separate email addresses you actually mean separate email accounts, then set up separate Outlook profiles. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;829918&Product=out2003 Each profile will have a separate data file.

If not, what are all the references to Address Book in the help tools for Outlook 2003. What I'm trying to do is this: my wife and I have different email addresses. (I actually have serveral) and we have different contacts...people and organizations with email addresses, phone numbers, snail mail addresses etc. We want to both use this computer but not co-mingle our emails and contacts. So far we accom-lish this by using our really lousy ISP's webmail services. I KNOW we can do this with Outlook but I have been unable to figure it out from online, onCD, on the phone respources.

I already answered your question. Create separate Outlook profiles. It is not necessary to create separate Windows User logon. Each Profile will maintain a separate data file so none of your data will be "mingled." All Contacts data is stored in Contacts folders within one Outlook data file (PST file). There is no separate address book. The Outlook Address Book is just another view of the Contacts Folder. Just make sure each profile uses its own data file, which it will be default.

The easiest way is to set up separate Windows User Accounts for you and your wife. That way, you will each have totally separate instances of Outlook (as well as other applications) when you log on. > I've got XP Media Center edition, Office 2003.

Russ, who knows what he is talking about, suggests a single Windows login but separate Outlook profiles - and that WILL work. homeLAN suggests (as do I in a separate response) a separate Windows login for each of you. A by-product of this will be separate Outlook profiles (as Russ suggests). That will work TOO. These are therefore differing strategies having the same (Outlook) outcome. You are now required to wake up, and decide for yourself.

Since they seemed to be cohabitating a single Window user's logon successfully otherwise, I hated to force them into separate bedrooms just so they could use Outlook separately.

My wife only uses the computer to get to the internet and for email - no other applications (well, maybe solitare!!) A profile of her own will do the trick nicely!! > Precisely. > It's dealer's choice.

On your (windows) computer, you should create/have 3 users: 'Administrator' - use when installing....... whatever........ 'His' (You) (use appropriate name of YOUR choice) 'Hers' (Your wife) (use appropriate name of HER choice) 2. Log in to each account in turn. 3. When you set up Outlook for 'His', use your own e-mail address(es). When you set up Outlook for 'Hers', use her address(es). 4. When you wish to use the computer, log in to 'His'...you will receive your own e-mail, have your own 'My Documents', etc etc...... 5. When she wishes to use the computer, she logs in to 'Hers'..and receives her own e-mail, has her own 'My Documents', etc etc..... OK?
