You do know that storing and using PST files stored anywhere but on a local
hard drive is not supported, may lead to problems and data corruption and
loss or locking or corruption of the PST and that no one will support you if
things go wrong, correct?

If a PST file is opened in Outlook and the user then goes to where that file
is not accessible what makes you think they will be able to use the file
then? Outlook will just show an error that it cannot load the file.

The code itself is simple, assuming you are using an Outlook version that
supports this, you never mentioned your version:

Application.Session.AddStore "G:\temp\archive.pst"

I would like to make a macro that would add a data file. Is this possible?
Lets say the file name is archive.pst located in G:\temp. thanks very
much

I want to do this because I want the user to be able to access the data
files while at work (data files on server), and not get the 'cannot access
data file' error when she goes home and opens outlook.
