Hi,
First let me say that I am a great fan of Outlook. It is an easy thing to
create multiple people-oriented databases, and they can be sorted and culled in
a seemingly endless number of ways.
One project I have is the Vermont Breeding Bird Survey. I am a county
coordinator and have to keep track of volunteer birders and their block
assignments. I use categories to track unassigned volunteers and unassigned
blocks. Add something called "point counts" and the skill level of the birder,
and their willingness to coach less experienced birders and I end up with quite
a few "categories" beyond the default ones, which I use in my business.
Then there is the mailing and membership list for the Burlington Currency
Project, of which I am secretary. We have nearly 30 categories of business that
are listed in our directory. Outlook will do everything I need, but it really
makes for quite a list in the Master category list.
There are two things that Outlook will not allow me to do: 1) have several
completely separate category lists; and 2) rename the fields that show in the
first two data windows.
I know I could get what I want in Access, but that is a lot of work just to add
a more usable category list.
Tom

I have to agree with Neil, Tom...I don't know anyone who has successfully
run two copies of Outlook on the same computer...maybe if you tell us more
about why you need this, we can help you get one copy to do what you want

To the best of my knowledge Tom, it is simply not possible to have two
copies of Outlook on one computer (other than dual boot). This is even =
true
of having different versions. Every other Office app can co-exist with
earlier or later versions - except Outlook. I gather there are technical
reasons (to do with the MAPI functions?) why this is so.
Sorry I can't help further.
