How setup an Outlook 'offline' startup password

Al Koch

Hello,

How can I configure Outlook 2002 to prompt for a password upon startup
when I am disconnected from my company's Exchange Server? When I am at
a customer’s office I don’t want my Outlook to be wide open. I can use
File | Data File Management | Settings | Change Password to set a
password for Archive files (Archive.pst) and Personal files
(Personal.pst) on my notebook. But the most critical file I have on
the notebook is the "Offline File" (Outlook.ost) that is a copy of my
information from the Exchange server. This is where the bulk of the
Contacts, Tasks, Calendars, etc. reside when I am offline and I cannot
find anything that allows me to set a password so that you can’t start
up Outlook without it. I’ve looked in a couple of books I have as well
as scanned some online forums to no avail but I’ve gotta believe that
there is a way to protect this file.

Thank you,
Al
