How can I have OUTLOOK profiles roam with the user where ever he/she logs on?

Yes, this is possible, but it's way more trouble than it's worth and fraught with peril. Is there any chance at all you can upgrade your PCs to at least Windows 2000 Professional?

So you dont have a local exchange or email server on your NT4 box, your using some type of internet or external email?  There's always the webmail option that most email services have available, some of them alot better than others, not sure how much of an option it is.

If your insistant on setting up a local application that allows you to do this, I wouldnt even attempt it without being on a domain.  It's possible to set up roaming profiles on your server, change your Outlook2k configs so that they are all in the part of a users profile that will be replicated in the roaming portion that will copy to each machine at logon, and back to the server at logoff.  As Jasper said, this is a horrible solution using windows 98, and without being on a domain, or using NTFS file systems on each local computer, your basically leaving peoples email posted to the wall for others to read.

If you need specifics on how do to this, just post and I'll go into detail.

Thanks for your input guys, as far as the netwokr then yes it is a domain I wish I can upgrade to win2k but with the MD's mood these days about cost it would like landing on venus so yes please freakyuno if you can go into the details of how to do it I would be very grateful

cheers

One last try: how much is the MD paying you? Because you're probably going to spend days setting this up and it still probably won't work right, and even if it does, it will probably spontaneously break all the time, requiring hours or days to fix every time it does. This is my last post in this question, but I strongly urge you to urge the boss to let you upgrade the workstations, and possibly the server, if this roaming capability is truly required. Good luck.

thank you very much
