Q: Heres the setup:
Win2K Pro desktop (latest fixes, patches, sp2, etc) 977 503 Win2K-Pro Dell Laptop (“”) 977 503 Plugged-in RT314
-TCP/IP Netgear, NetBEUI, File / Printer parts, and the client for Microsoft Networks installed on both.
-Both have a static 192.168 addresses.
What I want to do is sync at least the documents (it seems to work) and my Outlook 2000. Pst file between the two. So, has anyone done this successfully? I assume you just put the folder where your. Pst file and run it as an offline folder to share? Or is there a better way of doing this.
Addtionally, I setup my mas in the same way, but she uses Pegasus Mail, you think I would do exactly the same?
And there is another way to utiltize this built-in synchronization (Offline Files) without setting up an MS Share folder / file you want to synchronize the two? In terms of security, the less the shares of the better .
Thanks!

Re:When trying to use a .pst as an Offline File this may prove of some use.

Personally I would just share it, make sure my permissons are set correctly and access the file itself from the other computer. Trying to sync a .pst file accross a LAN or WAN can get time consuming IMO once it starts to grow. You also have to remember to update it in one location before you use it in the other because if you change both, information in one is ultimatley going to be lost unless you manually open both and transfer the information yourself through Outlook, .pst files cannot be merged.

Re:Only way I can think of:
1) Figure out which .pst file you want to use as your base.
2) On the tower create a folder called "Whatever", share it, put that .pst in in
3) On the laptop, tell Outlook to point to the .pst in the shsre you just created
4) Use Synchronization Manager on Laptop to make file available offline, and set it to synch to whatever pleases you
I do know when doing this, you will not be able to open the .pst from theat the same time from both PC's while they're connected to your network.
In other words, no I don't know of any other way than what you already thought of.
