using outlook with two computers in a workgroup

G

i have a small workgroup network at my home business. i have xp pro, and
office 2003 on two computers that i use. one is my desktop, the other is a
notebook.

i want to be able to use one outlook.pst file so i can manage all emails
from either computer. i set up the file on a shared drive, and i can run
outlook on both with the same file.

but, the problem is that if i open outlook from the second computer it re
copies all the emails from the server, so i get double or triple copies of
the same emails. so as you can image this is a mess.

is there some way i can disable the second computer from going online and
downloading the same emails again. or better yet, is there a way to stop
outlook from downloading duplicate emails? Any ideas?

thanks
