Synch Outlook data between machines without Exchange
 

I would like to suggest a small business/personal solution for those users
having a Notebook and also Stand-alone/or Peer LAN Desktop Computer, and who
do not have the advantage of a shared Exchange Server.

The user takes their Notebook on the road while using Outlook, however when
they return to their desktop it would be convenient to auto-synch the Outlook
data with the Desktop. This would allow a working backup to be made, and
also allow work to be done from either the Desktop or Notebook, without
duplication.

This could compliment Offline Files.

Currently this can be achieved (ex. Inbox) using Active Synch and a third
mobile device, however as a PDA or similar isnt always required could not
Active Synch be upgraded to allow the above scenario between Notebook and
Desktop?

Regards
Craig W.

Thanks for the link Brian I had seen this site, but wouldn’t it be good to
have the function built into the next version of Outlook.
This post was a suggestion placed through the Office Site suggestions and
feedback section, it mentioned if enough people voted on the post then the
product development team replies to it and uses to help prioritise feature in
upcoming versions.

It's probably too late for that. Office 12 is due out fairly soon.
However, I believe it would be very worthwhile for, say, ActiveSync to be
extended to sync a desktop and a laptop as well as a desktop and PDA.

Microsoft has said that Office 12 will ship in the 2nd half of 2006. I'm not sure that qualifies as "fairly soon"

For modifications to the design of the product, it seems quite near-in to
me.
