Outlook - home network

[Haig]

I have a Dell machine running MS Windows XP and an old
Compaq running Win 98. I have them connected on a small
lan using a NetGear router connected to my cable modem. I
only use mail(Outlook Express) on the Compaq. I want to
use Outlook on both machines and have all incoming and
outgoing mail sharing the relevant Outlook files. How do I
accomplish this ?

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express? Your mail is confusing. If you
are using Outlook Express, please post this question in an Outlook Express
forum - this forum is for Outlook from Microsoft Office.

Sorry for the confusion. Message should have indicated I
wanted to upgrade to Outlook (NOT EXPRESS)on my Compaq. MS
Outlook is currently on my XP machine.

Methods can be found here: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm . One
simple way is to put your PST on a network share (unsupported, but it
usually works). Just be aware that two Outlooks can't have the same PST
open simultaneously.

Thanks Brian for the pointers. I have a base to start with
now for further investigation.
