Sharing Contacts in Outlook?

[Richard Stratton]

I have searched this and other news groups to find out if it is possible to
share Outlook Contacts and Calendars using XP Home and XP Office Small
Business. I have found some articles on the subject but do not seem to be
able to get a simple answer.

What I have are two machines networked together (peer to peer) with XP Home
and Office Small Business installed on both machines.

What I want to do is have one set of Contacts and one Calendar that are
viewable and editable from both computers.

1/ If this is not possible in XP-Home, is it possible in XP-Pro (I'll
upgrade if I have to)

2/ If it is not possible using XP-Pro. What do I need to make it happen?

3/ Is a third party calendar / contacts program a better route? If so, any
suggestions?

Thanks for any and all help

Richard

With Outlook 2002 and above there is no sharing at all unless you are
connecting to an Exchange Server, however there are some third party
products/add-ons that can offer some degree of sharing, Sue has a list here

Netfolders with an explanation on the same link that I posted

It's not really based on the OS of the workstation...
