RE: Synchronising Differnet Copies of Outlook

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Kenneth,

I'd ve _very_ careful with this kind of thing if I were you.
The times I've played with syncing say phone to pda to PC, it's just
turned
into a complete nightmare.
eg:  Add a contact to the phone
     Sync it to the PDA
     PDA sayd 'not seen this before, I'll add it
thanks'
     Sync PDA to PC
     PC says 'haven't got this one mate, must be coz I
deleted it - so you
delete it please'
     Sync PDA to phone again
     PDA says 'see this contact - I've deleted it, so
you delete it please'

end result - contact disappears from all locations.

If you are only ever going to update one device and have the others
always
overwritten when syncing then you should be okay, but then you forget, add
a
new appointment to your PDA and it gets lost next time you sync to the
'master' source :-(

.Net MyServices mate - store it all on a server in Redmond and you can
access your calendar etc whereever you have internet access and a web
browser.......maybe :)


Tony
