But how do you actually use it? I would assume by that help file text, If I
was going to open it I should do it on a machine that is not connected to
the network, or at least one that isn't setup with my inbox, but then what
do I do? File->Open->Outlook Data File only works with PST files. Do I
just replace the OST file Outlook created when configured with this one?
Thanks for the help Anne.
