I'm running Office XP Home / MS Office 2003. I'm set up with 3 User Accounts-
#1 Admin, #2 Personal, #3 Business. I want to have Outlook "personal" profile running in Personal concurrently while Outlook "business" profile running in Business. This way, I wouldn't have to open and close Outlook every time I need to switch from checking personal / business emails. I'll just switch user account. I've tried to set this up, but Outlook will only open in my personal user account. It will not open in "Admin" or "Business" even if it is NOT running in "Personal". |

You cannot switch Outlook profiles as you can only have 1 open at any one
time. You can have Outlook prompt you for a profile op opening by going into the Mail Icon in Control Panel and then selecting Profiles and using the drop down at the bottom.

Thank you Noel-
Is there a way to quick-switch between profiles without having to shut down / restart Outlook? Or is it possible to have two Outlook applications on one computer- one running "Personal" profile and the other running "Business" profile?

What message store are you referencing in the two Windows users that will not open? How is it you have both Office XP and Office 2003 installed? (Or did you mean Windows XP Home?) What do you mean by "will not open"? What happens when you try? What are you doing to try? -- Brian Tillman |

Aside from Brains questions below, you have to shut Outlook down to switch
profiles, if you have Outlook prompt you for a profile on Outlook start then you can choose which Profile you want to open. Only one application of Outlook can be open at any one time.

Brian-
My OS is XP Home Edition. I'm using MS Office 2003 version (Word, Excel, PP, Access, Outlook package). I was wanting to seperate my business use from personal use via "User Accounts", hoping that I could switch from Personal to Business during the day via "Switch User" and have Outlook running in both accounts. To answer your question, the Outlook application will start OK in my Personal user account. Conversely, Outlook will not start in Admin or Business account. To try to start application I have: 1. single-click Quick Launch; 2. double-click shortcuticon; and 3. searched and found 192K Outlook Application icon. When I try to start application a message window pops up saying something that I can't remember- I thinks its "Cannot find" or something oruther... I will attempt and respond to "what happens" more accurately. Bruce "Brian Tillman" wrote: > FishnMan <FishnMan@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > > I'm running Office XP Home / MS Office 2003.
