Copying Outlook files from home to work computers
Copying Outlook files from home to work computers
(OP)
I have just installed Outlook 98 as my email client and PIM. I used to use Sidekick as a calendar and contact manager. I would copy the data files from my computer at work to a zip disk, take them home, copy to my home computer, and vice versa.
Now with Outlook, I see there is one file, Outlook.pst that contains all of my data. The documentation says I should be able to copy it to a zip and carry to work and back. I can't get it to work. I've tried it on both Win98 and WinNT 4.0 workstation. I get the same message each time: Cannot copy Outlook: the process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
Any ideas? Thanks

You could also add a personal folder [tools-services-add-personal address book].
This would be a local file that you can drag and drop any messages you want to transfer. It will appear below your inbox and about public folders.
