I have two computers networked in my office, computer 1 being the computer I use and computer 2 being the computer my secretary uses. Well computer 2 has microsoft outlook on it and my schedule for the week. I was under the assumption if my computers were networked and I had access to computer 2 from computer 1 then I would be able to see my schedule for the day. Well I have full access to computer 2 and opened up outlook from computer 1, and went directly to the schedule, but nothing appears on the schedule the information is all there on computer 2 though. Anyone have an idea on how I could start using computer 1 to actually view my schedule off of computer 2?

In simplier terms, computer 2 has my schedule that I need to view off of computer 1, how do I go about this?

In help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Just having the two computers networked is not enough. In order to share your calendar among many accounts, you need a centralized server (this can be one of your computers). Big offices use groupware packages like Microsoft Exchange Server (which is probably too expensive for your needs). Depending on your knowledge of computers, check out http://www.opengroupware.org which is a free alternative to Exchange (it runs on LInux though so you have to be fairly familiar with the Linux operating system).
