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 ".../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 (").

Funny thing, it's right in Outlook's Help.
