PST file location

[dadsvz]

I currently running outlook 2002. I have a desktop and a laptop on my home
network. I would like to be able to occasionally use the laptop for email.
How can I keep the PST file on my desktop and access it from the laptop. I've
shared the file and can access it from the laptop but outlook doesn't seem to
like it. WHat I have been able to find implies the PST file must be on the
local machine. IF it's not possible with 2002 would this work with a newer
version?

It is not recommended that you access a pst file on a network share, but I'm
doing it with several machines with no problems.
What does your outlook not like about it?
I'm not sure if they have changed that non-recommendation with 2007.

When I try to set it up for the default for the folders on outlook it says
access is denied. I can see the file on the laptop and its security looks to
be setup for shared access. My desktop is running WIndows XP the laptop
Vista.

Thanks, I moved the files out of a local settings folder and I was able to
access them. However now I'm dealing with the error for email address problem
trying to track down the cause.
