Right...like I said, my way doesn't work if you want to have Outlook running on two machines at the same time, but I don't have a need for that since I'm the only one using my network.

It can't be done for 1 big reason, when outlook is open on my main system, when I try to open it on my other system, it tell me that the file is being use. So Microsoft say no touching here. I guess I will have to find another way of getting it to work. Like a imap server. Thanks for all your help. Its nice to know at least it does not work. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
