Outlook 2003 Wants to Delete OL2002
Hi,
This question's probably been asked before, but I've searched for 20 min through the old posts and can't find anything, so excuse the repetition. I have a company laptop with Office XP and an external hard drive I want to use for personal documents, email, etc. and a new Office 2003 I can load to that external drive. On install, 2003 wants to replace OL2002 on the C drive. It will let me keep all other Office components, and accepts "install to E:", but balks at Outlook. The checkbox to keep the Outlook 2002 on the C drive is grayed out. What is it about Outlook that I can't have 2 versions on 2 different drives, and is there a way around this? Thanks in advance... David

Outlook 2003 Wants to Delete OL2002
No, you can only have one version of Outlook installed at a time. This is
because Outlook installs and integrates with several system components where can only exist one version at a time for. -- Roady [MVP] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Setting Permissions on a Mailbox -Create an Office XP CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 3 ----- "DavidF" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2003 Wants to Delete OL2002
Roady,
Thanks for the info. I assume your answer applies to 2 versions on 2 separate drives, right? How about 2 "profiles" under outlook xp? Will that separate my personal email from the company email/exchange server? Is "profiles" the right word I'd search under in Help for the how-to-do-it setup?

It applies to the OS no matter how many drives you may have.
You can setup 2 profiles indeed. You can do this in Control Panel- Mail- button Show Profiles... Contact your ISP/Exchange admin for server details. -- Roady [MVP] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Setting Permissions on a Mailbox -Create an Office XP CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 3 ----- "DavidF" wrote in message ...
