Netfolders-like capabilities and Outlook 2003

H

hmc

I know Netfolders has been discontinued in Outlook 2003, but is it
discontinued or just hidden? That is, not part of the default installation.
And can it be installed if you just look for it?

B/c for all of its hassles, my wife and I use NetFolders as part of our
business, and it works 99% of the time. Perhaps every 3 years or so we have
to set the folders up for sharing again. We've been using NetFolders since
2000, and it's crapped out only once.

But if anyone has found a good solution that's not too expensive (under
$100) I would be glad to hear about it.

Robert,

Have you used any of the solutions provided at this site? If so, do you know
how reliable they are?

Well I'm using the Exchange solution; a (big) bit over your suggested budget
:-D

All the solutions are quite different in how they do the sync and what they
sync (make available to te other). You are probably looking for a tool that
doesn't need a server and the freedom to share everything. Share Outlook
(the separate link I provided) is a good choice then. I don't know how
reliable the product is as I haven't tried it yet but they've always
responded fast and accurate to my e-mails (which says a lot about most
companies).
