No, you will need a third party tool if not using Exchange. There is no
other method, no shortcut, no workaround.

| Oliver, thanks for responding.

|
| Actually I want to view-only a live agenda on a different PC on a
| network in the same room.
| If that requires the other PC to have Outlook open or closed, so be
| it.
|
| I could close Outlook on PC2, open it's Outlook.pst through a share
| on PC1. This is not very user friendly (a clever shortcut would be
| better) and requires the user on PC2 to close Outlook temporarily.
|
| Is there no way to trick the "Open a shared agenda" without Exchange?
| (All PC's are on the same network in the same room).
|
| Or is it possible to construct a clever shortcut like:
| outlook:\\ PC-name or IP-address \ username \ agenda ??!!
| or similar.
|
| Third party tools might not work for my language (not englisch).
|
| TIA,
| John

| || Hi John,
||
|| to share a PST file is not possible without 3rd party tools.
||
|| Solutions like a link to a calendar "outlook:\\agenda" will work on
|| one PC but not as a shared PST file.
||
|| The link "outlook:\\agenda" means: "outlook" is the name of the
|| profile and "agenda" is the folder of the PST file BUT you can not
|| share a PST file by default in Outlook and of course no folder in a
|| PST file.
||
|| You can export a calendar in you network or on a webserver, but this
|| solutions wouldn´t allow to configure, change, create, edit, delete
|| or move any of this calendar items. All this solutions wouldn´t work
|| "live" in your Outlook. Most of the freeware share solutions by
|| Microsoft (without Exchange) supports only a smal part of the
|| functionality of an Exchange Server.
||
|| There is an "old" freeware solution by Microsoft named "NetFolders".
|| This works only in Outlook 98/2000 but this is also a
|| synchronization solution via email. Not realy secure and not realy
|| reliably.
||
||| Unfortunately all suggestions are either third-party solutions
||
|| What is the problem of 3rd party solutions if they could share PST
|| files "live".
||
||| I was looking for a PLAIN Outlook solution to share agenda's.
||
|| Then you will need Exchange Server.

||
|| ||| Thanks Milly and Oliver,
|||
||| I was looking for a PLAIN Outlook solution to share agenda's.
||| Unfortunately all suggestions are either third-party solutions or
||| have serious drawbacks.
||| Like being static data, requiring manual updating, exactly what
||| people tend to forget
||| or sharing agenda's via MSN premium which poses a security risk for
||| vital agenda's.
|||
||| I checked and tried starting Outlook with command line but at no
||| avail. This made me think ...
||| Similar to: http:\\site_name
||| This works: outlook:\\agenda
||| Could something like this work for networked PC's ?
||| (adding PC name / IP address etc / user name ?)
|||
||| TIA
