Outlook on Desktop and Laptop with one outlook.pst file?

[Guest]

Hi,

Can a user with a Desktop computer and a laptop/tablet PC with Office 2003
installed on both use a outlook.pst file installed on a mapped network drive,
or would this cause problems?
I know that using a pst file on a mapped drive is not supported by MS, but
it works fine, and allow me to back up the file since I store it on a server.
We have a couple of users with both types of computers and it would be great
if they could run outlook on both pointing to the same pst file, but I don't
think it will work. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
MIke
