Hi,
I am using a trial version of Outlook 2007 at home, in order to determine
whether I would like to stop using a cumbersome Web-based e-mail account I
have been using or not and to get accustomed to the 2007 version for a
prospective job.
I have figured out how to do everything I used to do in the older versions
of Outlook with the exception of these profile and file-sharing issues:
1. I had created profiles for both my roommate and me. Then, I configured
the Window’s control panel setting to prompt us whenever starting Outlook for
the profile to be used.
When I opened Outlook after making such changes in the Control Panel, I
expected to be prompted for her profile or mine in the drop-down menu of the
Choose Profile dialog box that appears upon opening Outlook. Instead the only
choice in the drop-down menu was Outlook, which I chose and which got me into
her profile -- so I still cannot get into mine!
--------------------------------------------
At work I usually need to have access to both my boss’s calendar and e-mail
account within Outlook, so I could look at his or her e-mail messages, set up
his or her meetings, etc.
2. I have found some great instructions on how to set up Outlook to give me
permission to access and utilize his or her calendar, but based on my above
description of my home office, I cannot practice this at home, correct? I
tried to go into Calendar in my roommate’s profile and in the navigation
pane, click Share My Calendar, but I could not find Share My Calendar; so I
am assuming that this cannot be practiced at home. If so, I could hold onto
the instructions and hope they help me at work.
3. I could not find any instructions on how to set up Outlook to give me
permission to access and utilize a boss’s e-mail account. Please send any
links to instructions you might have. Again, I could hold onto the
instructions and hope they help me at work.
The steps for opening a boss’s shared folder (both calendar and e-mail
account) appear to be the same as for previous versions!
I look forward to your response(s). Thanks.
