multiple xp accounts share outlook contacts and calendar

[chuck]

we have one computer at home. it has xp home edition installed. we
have two user accounts, one for me, one for the wife. both of us use
outlook 2002. we each have our own inboxes, contacts, calendar, etc.
it's like having outlook installed on two separate machines. this is
good.

however, i need to have us share our calendar and contacts only, not
our inboxes. i think i need to point both outlooks to the .pst files
that i place in the "all users" directory, but i'm not sure how to
isolate the contacts and calendar pst files. can someone walk me
through this with instructions?

once again, 2 different win xp accounts, want to share calendar and
contacts but NOT our inboxes or emails. HELP please!!! Thanks.

Open another person's folder
This feature requires Microsoft Exchange.

1.. On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Other User's Folder.
2.. In the Name box, type the name of the person who granted you sharing
or delegate access permission, or click Name to select from a list.
3.. In the Folder list, click the folder you want to open.
Note If you have author or editor permission, any items you create while
the shared folder is active are stored in the other person's folder.

This is an excellent question to which I am anxious to read the best
answer offered. I would certainly like to think that the world's
largest software company would understand the very simple concept that
families wish to share their calendars. As such, you would think that
winxp HOME edition would support such a thing.

Firstly Windows XP is only the OPERATING system, what you are referring to
is done by APPLICATIONS.
Secondly, Outlook was (is) not designed to be used in a home environment,
(although many people do successfully, myself included). Have you tried
doing a search for third-party calendars that do this? (I believe the
calendar that comes with Mozilla may be able to do this)
