MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / December 2005new pc
hi. I need to get a new hard drive. I've backed everything up from My Documents. For Outlook (2003) I've searched for *.pst . Thing is, if there are a few pst files for example, you need to check the date to assess which one is the one you are using. Is there not a better way of doing this? Say from Outlook itself, to see where its source file is stored. Thanks J Sure. File > Open Outlook Data File...  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > hi.

Many people use Windows XP's Files and Settings Transfer Wizard successfully for that.

I've done them manually now. If you're still there, just one more question I promise. If you have a laptop and a Pc, can you share the same Outlook file? > Outlook provides no built in way to back up your email account settings. > Many people use Windows XP's Files and Settings Transfer Wizard [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>>> Thanks >>>> J Outlook's PST does not support multi-user scenarios. That is, you can't have two Outlook's access the same .pst file at the same time. If only one installation wants to access the info from two separate locations, then put the .PST in a location where both computers can access it. Then you just have to make sure that both machines are not running Outlook at the same time. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thanks for your reply.
