syncing one desktop to another?

Frank Mazzola

Hi. I have Outlook 2003 running on XP Professional on my home and
office computer. The office computer in on a large network. Can I
somehow "sync" my home calendar to a second calendar on my office
outlook? Would I export the home calendar as a PST file and email it?
Can I use my Pocket PC as an intermediary? Any ideas will be greatly
appreciated.

Yes. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm

You can (but I wouldn't - always avoid export/import whenever possible).
You can also mail the entire PST without exporting. You can also create a
new PST, create in it a Calendar folder, copy to that folder the items from
your main Calendar you wish to transfer, and then mail that PST (after
closing it within Outlook and stopping/restarting Outlook). I would first
rename it to something.ps_, though, so it doesn't trigger Outlook's
security. On the receiving end, save it to disk, rename it to something.pst
and use File>Open>Outlook Data File to open it. Don't import.

That's what I do. I find it the easiest method.
