Hello:

I'm trying to share data between two computers, home and office. I can sync
up the data using my iPaq, no problem there; however, it does not copy over
the extensive formating I have done on the office machine. I want to copy
over ONLY the calendar formatting (including views, categories, etc.) from
the office to the home machine. Is there a specific file I can choose (.pst
?) or process I can follow tocopy the formatting? If it is a file, can I save
the office machine file over the home file to accomplish the formating
duplication across the two non-networked machines?

Thanks,
 
Views are hidden items in your .pst file. It's not obvious how, but you can
use a PST file to back up your views. Here's a link to an article I wrote on
how to manage this:

If you are not connecting to an Exchange server, you will not be able to use
the quick-and-dirty method and will need to add some additional steps to use
the other technique. Specifically, you will need to to make a copy of any
folder-specific view as a general view applying to all [mail, contact, etc.]
folders. Use the steps described in the topic on restoring views. Then you
will be able to back up those general views by using the backup technique
outlined.
