help with microsoft office outlook.

[GlutinyGoat]

first let me say I am not using Microsoft exchange. With that said here is my question.

What are some ways to share an office calendar between 2 or 3 computers?
Example if I make an appointment on computer A then go to computer B that appointment is there already and the same for computer C.

Hopefully Thanks for the much needed Help.

I think you need to have exchange server for that.

im a small business. so im trying to get around that, plus i dont know how to use an exchange server.

you can move your PST file to a shared/network drive. only one computer can have it open at a time though. exchange is the preferred way.

i was thinking about that. but how will haveing different email address effect that.

It's not perfect...but it's one of the better alternatives if you don't have an exchange server running. It works fine for a couple people.

well i guess im also looking for a way to do it with the software that i have already purchased and also... that is $99 per.

Software sounds appropriate. Technical Support couldn't hurt either.


But I don't blame you for posting in the populous place either. My above post is only a joke.

you should post in the Software forum.

here's a link.

The only correct way to do this is with an Exchange server. Net folders (using email back and forth) was a joke.

Even ACT! now uses a synch server based on SQL. Of course it's a real pig and given the vendor (BEST) it does not surprise me at all.

Software forum for a software question? OMG, that would have NEVER occured to me.

 

[GlutinyGoat]

ok ill move this question to Software. How?
other than reposting the same question... can i move this whole thread there?

 

[GlutinyGoat]

ok no answer so i guess im just going to re-post. sorry if that is against the rules but for now i dont know any other way.

still need help?!?

 

[DarkTXKnight]

actually I read about a way to do this using MS sharepoint services about a year ago when I was wanting to do the same thing for a small business. I'll look for the link, but try googling it or look on www.slipstick.com as I think that's where I found some guidance on it.
Hope that helps!
