I have Win98SE on C:, and I got win2k on G:(formated as NTFS), may it be possible, for an application like Outlook 5 Express (assuring that both Outlooks versions are the same) may it be possible to get both outlook to share the same data folders, so that any email downloaded in one, and infomation about both copies are the same?

I really hate to have to duplicate alot between the two OS, if they can least share some of the shared files to preserve memory.

HI kb244,
Remember that win98 can't read NTFS, so you'll need to install outlook on a non NTFS disk. I've not tried
this ,but try installing outlook in win98 and then
try installing outlook in the same location on win 2k

Ken, &quot;Remeber&quot; Windows2000 can read Fat32 and can be installed on a Fat32 partitionm, I'm already aware of that.
