sharing offline folders among different profiles

[rbuce]

I would like to share (ie use the same folders) my offline
Outlook contacts and calendar folders in two different
profiles. How? Many thanks.

OST files can be opened only in the profile/mailbox for which they were
created.

What is it you need to accomplish? There may be another way.

Place the PST file in a directory where both profiles can read and write and
simplyu add it to each profile. Only one profile at a time will be able to
access the file.

Offline folders are profile specific and cannot be "shared." You will need
to export the parts of the .ost to a .pst and then open the .pst file in the
other profile to have access to the information you want.
