 |  Outlook Question.... Heres the scenario: My boss is a very busy man. He hired an assistant to help him out. He wants to create a spearate user account on his winXP desktop computer for her. Now what he wants is for her to be able to access HIS outlook information(contacts/inbox/task...) from HER account, and only the outlook files, nothing else. How can I advise him in how to do this. Thanks |

| you can do it manually by export his contacts list , calenadar, ect to a file and import those files to her outlook on her windows account. you can save the exported files to a shared folder on a network or to removable media, not sure if they fit on floppy. |

It sounds as though the 'boss' wants the 'assistant' to be able to check his email- this can be done a couple ways that I know of. 1. He gives her his login info and she logs in as him. [not a good idea] 2. If you are using exchange server, you can set up forwarding and I think give her access to his account through there. [recommended] 3. He can share his inbox and assign permissions so that only the assistant has access. [another good way, but the assistant will have access to EVERYTHING in his Outlook account.]

| well i didn't say this would give her access to his inbox for obvious reasons. i assumed all his assistant needs is the contacts so she can email and contact people or his calendar to organize his work schedule. Guy about your #3 is this through exchange also? and can you please explain how?, i am dying to know the answer to this |

| Nope, it's not through Exchange, it's Outlook itself. I would have to double check the details, but I know it can be done because where I work, there are a couple doctors setup this way for there Office Managers. I will try to find more details for you.

| I knew I'd find it eventually! Some of the screen shots are for Outlook 97...but all the same, you should be fine following this!
