I have Office Outlook 2003 on my main workstation PC, and Office Outlook 2007
recently installed on my laptop. Now, I am wondering if I will be able to
access the same Exchange email account from both of these systems. Can
anyone help me with this? Or am I faced with having to uninstall Office 2007
and reinstalling 2003?

thanks in advance,
Kay

Nope - Outlook 2007 will do the job just the same as 2003....

Actually, the answer is no. Outlook 2007 uses a different system for indexing files that Outlook 2003 does not. It is NOT recommended to access the Exchange mailbox with two versions of Outlook. Eventually, the mailbox will show corruption.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm not an Exchange expert!

It is not an Exchange issue, it is an issue using two versions of Outlook to
open the same Outlook file.
