1217333 2011-07-17 09:15:00 I know this is old software but it contains all my contact details. How can I get Outlook to use a changed location of the Outlook.pst file from C:\Windows to my portable hard drive E:\ ?

If I can learn how to get Outlook to use the E drive this would allow both my computers to access the data when the E drive is connected.

1217336 2011-07-17 10:48:00 Thanks, Decibel, that did not work but started me on the track.
Thanks, Ronyville, that is nearly right.
I shifted the .pst file. Then opened Outlook and it said I had to browse for the file. Did that and it looks good.
Next test is when the portable drive is connected to my laptop.

Thanks.
