You can also open up multiple instances of different calendars, there is even an overlay mode.

I found a really easy-to-understand write-up on this here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft/outlook/subscribe-add-google-calendar-ical-outlook-2007/

Create some accounts on youre pc then in the run prompt type runas /U:\ "%outlookdir%\outlook.exe"

is youre hostname
the account name
%outlookdir% is the full path to youre outlook installation

the more you make you might need to create a new profile if you have not opened outlook before

It is possible to get two accounts running using the ExtraOutlook program found here: http://www.hammerofgod.com/download.html It includes the story of how they found a way to get two separate instances running with different profiles.

I made a copy of outlook.exe (OL 2000) named outlook2.exe. But outlook2.exe would use the same profile as the aleady started outlook.exe even with the /profile parameter.

You can also right click on Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc (bottom right side) and select "open in new window"

If someone has sent you a meeting request that you have not answered, you can click the "calendar" button (right side of upper bar) and that will open a second window that has full functionality. This second window will usually reopen if you allow Windows to close Outlook on shutdown and it is able to do so successfully.

I am running a program called "True Launch Bar".
It has a plug-in called "Mail Monitor".
If you set mail monitor to use Outlook as your mail reader, it will lauch a new and simultaneous instance of outlook without loging off and on. Appaently as many as you want. Is there a way to keep outlook from launching more than once? Perhaps in the registry?

I don't believe you can. You must restart Outlook to change profiles.

I've got this happening as well. I'll come in in the morning, log in, click the icon to start Outlook....suddenly I might have 3 instances of my Inbox pop up at the same time.

Each time I click on MS Outlook it opens a new instance of MS Outlook even though I have added the /recycle switch. Could you advise how to ensure only one instance, please

This can be done with Outlook 2003.

We have many people at the site I support who want the same functionality.

Simply right click the Microsoft Office Outlook icon on your desktop and select create shortcut. You can even drag it down to the taskbar to make it easier for them to click when OL is already open.

Click the shortcut to your hearts content and open as many instances you like.

Now, the caveat here is if you delete the original OL icon, you will have to use the control panel to access the mail Properties. No biggee.

use the /recycle command line parameter to prevent outlook opening another instance of outlook. You can remove this if it is already there to allow multiple instances.

I did some tests with various switches including /profiles and /profile to load two instances with different profiles however it would appead that you can only have one profile at once open.

You cant switch profiles using these either.

Not really. It's something that each application has to handle itself.

Can I set up my Pc to do the converse of "Can I open more than one instance of Outlook at a time?". That is, how can I prevent opening a second MS Outlook window on my PC (or any other Windows app for that matter). This occures when I click a tray or desktop icon a second time by accident.

Sounds like you want to create multiple profiles. In Control Panel, Mail, select edit profiles and create a new one - so you end up with one for each coach. And have it ask which profile to use each time you start outlook.

Leo,
Can I create more than one account on Outlook. For instance, I have two coaches, in the gym, using one computer. They both need to be able to access their mail account. If this can be done, How?

just look at the command line that launches outlook from your shortcut. Take out the /recycle switch at the end of the command line.
