My wife an I both have Outlook 2003 on our computers. We are on a home
network and have no central exchange server. Are there any free ways to
synchronise the two?

WARNING: This is unsupported by Microsoft. You MUST take frequent backups of
your pst file.
On the one machine, move the pst file to a shared folder. Point Outlook on
that machine to that location.
On the second machine, either move or delete the pst file. On opening
Outlook it will complain that it can't find the pst file. Point it to the
shared folder on the first machine.
WARNING: You can only access the pst file with ONE instance of Outlook at
any one time - ie you cannot both have Outlook open at the same time.

Thanx - we do tend to use Outlook both at the same time so this might
exclude this method.
 
Take a look here, it may help:
