Using the same outook file from 2 accounts

Assuming you are using outlook in standalone mode, ie not connected to an exchange server, then all your data will be in a .pst file. This is normally located in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Where Administrator is the appropriate user.

Again, assuming that you don't want to use both accounts simulataneously, then there are 2 options.

1) in the "new" user locate and delete (or rename) the .pst file (which presumably is empty) When outlook starts you will get a message box complaining there is no .pst file, and asking you to chosse another. Navigate to the "old" .pst file, select that, and that's it.

2) in the "new" user start outlook, then select file/data file management and add/remove .pst files accordingly.

Checked with outlook 2003
