Transfering Outlook data between two computers.

I have a computer at my office and one at home. I would like to be able to
take my outlook files from my office to my home each evening and work from
the house--then take the files back to my office. I have tried copy and
pasting but my computer at home now has two sets of data instead of one.
Everything in my calendar was duplicated. I don't know what I did wrong.
Can someone explain to me a simple or correct way of transfering my data
between two computers where the data is not duplicated?
 
It is a little cumbersome. If you are getting duplicates it may be because
you are not instructing OL how to properly handle duplicates that turn up
when you're importing data into OL. I have seen a number of posts in this
BB about getting rid of duplicate entries, so you ought to search for them.

Here's a strange thought. I used to use "briefcase" when I took Word (I am
thinking this was probably Word 95) files home with me on my laptop to work
on them. I save the files to a folder called Briefcase and then copy that
folder to a disk (a floppy then). After working on the files and saving
them on the same disk, Word )(or maybe Windows) took what was in the
briefcase and used it to update any older version of the same file. As
usual, I had trouble finding anything much about this function. I have no
idea if it would also work for OL. But it probably is only of academic
interest, since importing the data is probably OK.
