This may seem like a simple question but I am getting conflicting answers. If you have your PST file located somewhere other than your local office, such as in another state or county. When you open Outlook and does it pull the entire PST file across the WAN or just the file structure and pointers ? I am sure some Outlook guru knows this but I have heard two different answers from two different E-Mail admins. Thanks for the help Ches

Thanks for the prompt answer. The KB article was very helpful. Ches
