Outlook and Offline Files
I have a wireless network set up in my home. I have a desktop and a laptop
connected to it. My .pst file resides on my desktop. I have set up Offline Files on my laptop so that I can access my desktop .pst and make the file available on the laptop if I'm out of range with the laptop or not connected to the network. However, when I'm not connected to the network, and I try to run Outlook on the laptop, Outlook gives me an error saying it can't connect to the .pst on the desktop and then closes down. It doesn't give me the option to work offline with the Offline File that is resident on the laptop. Any ideas? |

Offline Folders are appropriate only for when using Exchange. Otherwise, they're not "Offline Folders". However, when I'm not connected to the network, and I try to run Outlook on the laptop, Outlook gives me an error saying it can't connect to the .pst on the desktop and then closes down.

You'll need to have Outlook reference a local PST for its delivery location and use one of the several methods of synchronization to keep your two PSTs in line with each other. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm -- Brian Tillman |
