Outlook Local Area Networking

[Guest]

Dear All

I have just bought a new notebook with XP Pro and Office 2003.

I have a desktop which acts as my server via a LAN with a directory where
common word files are shared between my notebook and desktop.

How do I link my notebook to the database of Business Contacts on the
desktop in Outlook so that I can keep all the info on the server but access
it from my notebook?

Any tips or thoughts would be welcomed.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
