RE: Synchronising Differnet Copies of Outlook

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

I don't think I was perhaps clear enough there are several ways of
doing
this.

I can synch the phone to one LAN (whichever) then to the laptop or
synch
the laptop directly over the LAN. Although I would prefer the be able
to
synch the laptop directly with the two work PC's I use and that would
really be all I have to do, the rest is pretty easy to sort out after
that's in place.

So I suppose that the basic question is, can I get two copies of
Outlook
to synch with one another over a LAN?

TBH I don't care how it does it so long as all the copies of Outlook
and
the phone all tell me the same thing
