Multiple Outlook Databases in one system

R

richu

I just ordered a system with Windows XP, my first new o/s since 98SE.
Would like to set up different user accounts with separate Outlook databases.
Have a need for a personal user account and a business user account, and would like to have separate Outlook files for each user account.
Is this possible?

Roady,

Not addressing email profiles.
Would like two separate Outlook databases, one in each user account.
Possible?

Are you using Windows NT, 2000 or XP? Then it is possible. Those
useraccounts have completely separate locations of saving user settings and
user data.

The o/s is XP.
Do I install Outlook twice, or simply save each user account to separately named .pst files
Thanks in advance.

No need for all that. Just start up Outlook for the second user and
configure it. It will create a pst-file automatically in the users profile.

If you install Office on your PC with an administrator account it will be
available for all users of that computer.
