HI,

What is the name and where is located the associated file of OWA ?
I notice that it's a different file from the one associated to Outlook 2003
which is outlook.pst in directory
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Isn't it?

Thanks,
Rodryg

There's no file. At least, not on your local computer. OWA is just a web
page, and you're using it to access your Exchange mailbox, which is stored
in the database(s) on your Exchange server.

OWA is not designed for offline use, although you might be able to add it as
an http client in OL2003 to download it. I've never tried that, but I've
heard of it working...
 
You're right.
What I really need is to know how to reach my own Outlook Data file
(Calendar, Tasks, Contacts... saved in my file outlook.pst) via an Internet
or an Intranet connection?

Hi Afbal,
To access your Outlook Data File via the internet you'll probably need a VPN
connection setting up. If you have an IT department then ask them about
setting one up for you.

Another approach is to use a product like gotomypc.com or mywebexpc.com to
allow remote access to your desktop pc via the internet.

If you can use OWA then I would strongly recommend it as it is the 'easiest'
way of doing what your talking about.

Hope this helps and have a fantastic day
