Hi Neil, Could you tell me where to begin looking to point Outlook to the correct file? Ie - Tool, Options (I'm guessing), but where from then? As for the reason - I'm house-sitting for the in-laws, and the brother in-law is a gamer. Most of the games we play run better in 98/ME - not XP. I much prefer XP as well (and its more secure - I can stop him using my PC etc when I'm at uni!)

Quite easy Corey. Set it up on one o/s, then on the other o/s simply point Outlook to the same PST file. Just make sure that the PST file is on a drive with a file that can be read by both o/s's (ie not NTFS). However, the underlying reason as to WHY you would want to even look at ME after XP, escapes me! ;-) ____________________________________ Neil Atwood - Sydney, Australia "If you want to improve your understanding, drink coffee; it is the intelligent beverage."
