Experts,

Is there a command-line switch to open Outlook 2003 in Cached Mode? I use a
roaming profile, which goes best with non-cached mode. But on my traveling
laptop I only want to use Cached Mode. If I log off the laptop while
connected to the domain with OL 2003 in Cached Mode, that resets my roaming
profile to use Cached Mode which is not what I want.

You'd be better off approaching this from the profile/group policy side, I
think - but a very simple way to work around this would be to change your
profile settings on the laptop so that they don't roam (change it to Local).
I've often done this for users who work on both laptops and desktops,
because I don't usually want them to have the same settings.

Regardless - I'd recommend you use cached mode anyway - that data doesn't
roam, and cached mode is so much nicer.

Thx. That will work for me.
