Hi Walter,

for Outlook 2000 you could try "Netfolders" (Freeware).

Have a look on this site :

Maybe it helps.

I have two separate computers on a wireless network. Both have Office 2000
installed. I want to be able to share one calendar but cannot figure out
how
or if it can be done.

One the main computer I use OE for mail and Outlook for the Calendar
functions. On the 2nd computer I use Outlook for all tasks.

Thanks...

Oliver,

I was hoping for a way to do this a little simpler. Can two computers access
the same pst file in a shared folder without causing problems?

Yes and no. Yes, but only one at a time, and no, because using a pst file
across a network is one of the fastest and most frequent ways to a corrupt
pst file....

Yes, provided only one Outlook is running at any one time. On the "master"
PC, put the PST in a locally-hosted network share. Start Outlook and when
it complains that it can't find the folders, browse to the new location of
the PST. On the remote PC, add the PST with FIleOpenPersonal Folders
File, browse to the share, select the PST and click OK.

Be sure to make frequent PST backups as this isn't supported and can lead to
data loss.

Thank you Brian & Gordon. You confirmed my suspicions about possible
problems doing it this way.

No. Only one outlook can use a pst at one time and network access to pst's
is not supported and can result in lost data.

Netfolders sucks. There are better solutions, unfortunately, none are free.
