Re: Synchronising Differnet Copies of Outlook

[Doogie Brodie <ukhad@xxxxxxx>]

I *used* to use a service from www.fusionone.com which did exactly 
this....... basically appointments, contacts, bookmarks and any 
files/folders you specified where transferred up to their servers with 
their client, and could then synchronize the info down to other PCs, and
also do some downstream only contact sync stuff with mobile phones 
(basically you got an SMS with a business card of the contact you'd 
specified to be mobile aware)

However, they started charging for the services and I just started using
my iPAQ as a conduit.... (sync iPAQ with desktop at work, both know 
stuff, sync iPAQ with laptop at home, both know stuff, sync with desktop
- anything on the laptop is then transfered onto the desktop etc)

Wow! I remembered my password, there you go! 100 USD per year for 
services..... :o

Apart from that, I've not heard of any syncing products..... 
Hmmmmmmm.... almost worth writing one as a .Net learning exercise..... 
hmmmmmmmmm..... I'll maybe muck around with stuff..... I've got a fair 
amount on at work just now though so......!
