Which is what I do when I open PST files??? Although, if he meant to access
it regularly from a DVD versus having the current PST on the HD, yeah, then
that's not a good idea. NEVER a good idea to work from separate media...such
as floppies, CDs or DVD. Always best to work from the HD and use that type
of media as backup and/or archive...NOT as the main source. (Something I
know YOU know, but added for the benefit of others who may not understand
this concept.)

No argument about your technique Dian - but I read Robert's post as him
wanting to access PST files directly from the DVD media...
