I have OL2003 on my desktop and Outlook XP on my laptop. Is there a program
that would allow me to synchronize the data between both? For example, when
I receive an email I would like for the other computer to be updated as
well. Also when I add a contact, I would like for that to be sync'd as
well.

Another question: is it possible backup a .pst file to a mapped network
drive? If so, what program could I use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for responding back to me. I'm really new to OL2003 but I've been
using OLXP
for a while now. I looked at the sites you gave me but I'm unsure of which
is better to use
for the task I'm trying to accomplish. Do you have any suggestions or know
which is more
user friendly and easy to use?

Thanks again and in advance.

The different of the products are often the "technical idea". Most of them
are based on email synchronisation like netfolders or other synchronisation
products.

Products like:
WorkgroupShare, Osa-Sync, 4team for MS Outlook, Share Outlook are Outlook
Network synchronization products. They snychronize the outlook items in a
network and so (my meaning) it is not realy a "sharing" solution with a
central store and a network access to this central store. We don´t save all
word documents on all workstations in our network, we are using one item on
a server. Exchange will do this also with central databases.

The benefit of this "synchronization" solution is, that external
workstations/coworkers don´t need an access to a company server, they need
only an emailaccount to get calendar or contact informations that a company
wants to share/sync with this external members. My questions to ths
companiey would be, why does Microoft delete this function beginning with
Outlook 2002 because it was to buggy and what do they make better than
Microsoft?

Products like Bill Workgroupserver, Bynary Insight Connector or SCOoffice
Server are linux based solutions. The Insight Connector is also an email
based synchronisation like Netfolders but you will need an additional
workstation or server with a linux system.

Netpab is a shared Personal addressbook with only reading rights. You can
not change any entries from a client but you can share contacts. No
calendar, no emails, no tasks or any other item.

Public OutLook and Outlookfolders are central shared PST file and no sync
solutions. This two tools are the only both tools, that I know who works
like a real store provider with a central access. I prefer from this tool of
course Public OutLook, because it is our tool.

I try to be neutrally in my description, I hope it helps you. To say "this
is definitly the best tool" is (as a developer company) advertisement and in
a microsoft newsgroup I try to be most neutrally.
