Sharing Outlook on other PCs on home network

[Guest]

How do we share our Outlook folder on our home network, so that we'll have
one .pst file on one box, and other users can access it on their own PC to
view and make changes at their PC? I've tried sharing the folder which
contains the .pst file on the host machine, and setting up Oultlook on the
other PCs to access the version on the host, but the other PCs cannot view
the events on the calendar. What am I missing?

Without Exchange server, this is not easy - note that only one PC can access
a PST file at a time, and MS doesn't support accessing PST files across
network connections.

Search for "sharing" at www.slipstick.com for some possible options.

This isn't supported and only one PC at a tiem can have Outlook open, but
you're on the right track. On one PC, put the PST in a folder that is
shared to the network and open that PST via the share on the other PCs.
