RE: Sharing Outlook contacts with a laptop

["Andrew Richards" <andrew.richards@xxxxxxx>]

I do this (share my Outlook .pst file between desktop and laptop) using
Briefcase.  I tried to use Synchronise on W2K but it doesn't work with .pst
files.

Only problem is you can't update both desktop and laptop contact lists at
the same time, but that's not a big deal

Easiest way I've found around this is syncing the iPAQ with both
machines, then all 3 have the same contact list.... :S I used to use a
service from FusionOne (wrap www. .com round it for their website but
they weren't taking new users last time I looked :( ) which uploaded
your contacts to their central database <eek!> and did the sync with
their client software.... However after a while, they started
restricting services unless you paid for certain things etc, so when I
got the iPAQ I just used that as the gateway device.....
