Outlook and ActiveSync

[Guest]

I'm using Outlook 2002 and ActiveSync 3.7.1. Several members of my family
sync our Dell Axims on the same computer. The problem is ActiveSync does not
prompt for a user; it uses the profile loaded when Outlook was started. We
have accidentally cross-sync'd out calendars several times. How can I make
Activesync detect the user, or prompt for a profile instead of using the one
already loaded?

Make sure Outlook is closed and that the outlook.exe process is released
before hooking up another PDA

In addition to Roady's comment, you could also set up different user
accounts/profiles on this computer so there's no possibility of getting
someone else's Outlook profile - methods depend on version of Windows.
