I've done it in the past, so it is possible. There's no way that I'm aware
of for more than one user to be able to access it at the same time.

Not simultaneously.

Correct. A PST can be opened in only a single instance of Outlook at one
time.

If you don't have a Microsoft Exchange server onsite, then you have to go
