Default help, update contacts in Outlook

By "Outlook" do you mean Outlook Express (OE) which is part of Internet
Explorer or Outlook97/98/2000+ which is part of Office? And which
version? (If you don't know, in your mail program select Help, About.)

OE doesn't have any provision for sharing the address book across PCs.

You can tell OE where to look for the address book.

However, if 2 PC's try to access the WAB file at the same time they may
either lock out each other or corrupt the address book. Additionally,
you'll need to put all the contacts in the Shared Contacts, or else they
wouldn't be visible to the other PCs.

A safer way would be to choose one PC as the master for updating, then
periodically copy it to the other PCs for use. The Shared Contacts note
still applies.

For additional information, see:
