Hi Customer.
Thanks for posting here.
Our partner newsgroup is an issue based service, meaning we usually respond
to one question/issue per post. This will lessen the confusion for both of
us, as well as ensure that our results are accurate and not a result of a
test for a different question. Since your question is not directly related
to original one, if you require further assistance for the additional
questions, please submit a new post. This can receive full attention from
the Support Professional (maybe the same person) to whom it is
assigned.Your understanding and cooperation is very much appreciated.
Have a nice day!
Thanks & Regards,

| The previous question was accessing one set of Outlook pst files from
three
| computers. I have been using four computers on a LAN with Windows 98 SE
and
| Outlook 2000 for years, and sharing all my contacts, calendar, etc
through
| the sharing feature. I have about four users doing this at the same
time,
| adding in information that is emailed between the outlook machines, with
one
| computer being used as a post office. It has worked well up to now, but
wiht
| increased use, I am getting more conflicts.
|
| If I upgrade to a new computer with Windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003, I
can
| no longer share files and I must go to a server. I do not necessarily
wish
| to buy a server, and I was wondering if there was any other way around
it. I
| did read about using a MSN premium service and a .net passport, but I do
not
| wish the information to be availabel on the internet.
|
| The other reason that I wish to upgrade is I wish to use a PDA, and they
can
| only synchronize with Outlook 2002 which would cause me to lose my
sharing on
| Windows 98 SE. I have been slow to get one not only for that reason, but
| also because I need to experiment on one aspect of the PDA. In Contacts,
and
| other contact lists, I use the notes field extensively as a daily log
that
| can stretch up to 100 lines of information, and I was wondering if all
that
| information would synch to the PDA? Would it synch to a Palm Pilot
operating
| system? My outlook PST file is presently 20,000K?
|
| Thanks for any help.
