Is there a command line switch in Outlook 2003 for specifying which profile to use? I cannot find anywhere on MS website a list of command line switches for Outlook. I know you can set the select profile option so it brings up a drop down box, but my problem is 2 users are accessing email from the same PC and they may not take care to make sure the correct user is selected before clicking OK, and see the wrong email account. If they could each have a separate icon which opened up theitr own profile automatically this would be a lot better. We used to do this with Pegasus Mail.
The following page explains the Command-Line switches for 2003: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP010031101033.aspx The ".../profile profilename" switch sounds like the one for you. /profile profilename - Loads the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks (").
