Can I set up two separate Personal Folders?

R

Robert Judge

I use Outlook 2003 on my work computer and Outlook 2002 on
my home computer. I wanted to have access to my Outlook
work data on my home computer, so I created a new PST from
the Outlook 2003 computer in the 2002 format and put it on
a CD.

I would like to import that PST into my home Outlook
2002. However, I would like to retain the existing
information that I already have on that computer. In
other words, I would like to create a new Personal Folders
on my home computer consisting of the Outlook 2003 PST
information that I have exported from my office computer,
but keeping that information seperate from the Outlook
2002 information I already have on my home computer.

Can I do this by somehow first creating a new Personal
Folders, then importing the information specifically into
that new Personal Folders? I will appreciate advice on
how to accomplish what I would like.

No need to import native Outlook data. Copy the .pst file to your hard
drive, remove the read only attribute, then Open Outlook and use
File->Open->Outlook Data file. You will have a complete second .pst folder
with all your work information. I would rename it for easy diffentiation,
however.
