AFAIK you don't.  There are locking issues.  I THINK that if only one of
them is in it at a time it may work, but definitely won't if more.

I asked this question once before but I'm not sure I got the answer I
needed. Situation: 3 Win boxes plus a Win 2000 server. I want to put the
Outlook db on the server (which is RAID) so I can hit it from the 3
boxes no matter which one I'm using. At the moment the pst file is on
one box, not the server. I want to move it to the server then point the
other two instances of Outlook at that file. How do I do this?

TIA,
Arthur
