moving calender folder from one computer to another computer

[D.A. Ferguson]

I have Outlook 2002 on several computers. How do you move
a calendar folder from one computer to another computer so
the second computer will have the same information as the
first. I plan on using the second computer to enter all
new calendar information.

Create a new .PST file (File | New), copy the Contacts into that .PST file,
copy that file to the other computer, then open the .PST in Outlook using
File | Open and copy the data from it as needed.

I'm not sure where it stopped being available in Outlook, but if you are
wanting the same calendar info up to date on 2 pc's or more you also
could share the calendar and use netfolders.

I use it between my 4 other family members. Updates are sent out via
email and the host machine so to speak always keeps them in sync.

Just a thought.

Net Folders was discontinued in Outlook 2002.

I'm aware that netfolders facilitates synchronization of
the calender and some other outlook items. However, is
it possible that additions and modifications be made to
the calendar and updated on a subscriber's copy of the
calendar while having the calendar currently open?

My concern is that the calendar on everyone's pc is not
refreshed if they are currently working on their copy of
the calendar. Therefore, one person can have there
calendar open all day and schedule appointments that may
no longer be available but they are unaware since leaving
the calendar open may be preventing their copy from being
updated. If the file cannot be updated while in use, is
there away around this? What are the options?

If netfolders was discontinued in Outlook 2002, what
options are available now besides using microsoft
exchange server. Also, is there a way of synchronizing
outlook on different computers without using the
Internet? Seems unecessary to me in cases where all
subscribing computers are physically at the same location.

Thanks for the help!

and for synchronization:
