Hi
I'm a relative newcomer using Outlook 2000 (not Express) on my desktop
computer (Windows ME) in work and a laptop (Windows 98SE) at home. I
just use it for calendar, tasks and contacts (no e-mail). I carry a
portable hard drive between the two with all my files (Word, etc.) on
it. Is there any way I can configure Outlook to set the data file to
another drive (i.e. my portable hard drive) rather than drive C on my
other computers? It seems that the data is all stored somewhere like
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in a .pst file. All I want
to do is change that location - is it possible?
Thanks for any help you can give.

1.. Use File | Exit (Exit and Log Off in Outlook 2000 in
Corporate/Workgroup mode) to quit Outlook.
2.. Move the file to the new location. (You can also use this technique to
rename the file.)
3.. Restart Outlook. When you're prompted for the location of the
now-missing PST file, browse to the file in its new location.
