I just set-up a homenetwork with shared files for my Outlook email 2003. I
am able to share view my new email but it appears that I am not sharing my
calendar. I want a single calendar that updates on either computer. Right
now I see a calendar entry on both computers that show different entries. My
laptop does show the personal calendar of my desktop but shows it as
"Calendar in Personal Folder".
 
Take a look here, it may help:

That's because on the desktop PC, the PST you're referencing is the delivery
location but on the laptop, it's not. Make the shared PST the delivery
location on the laptop as well and you'll share the same mail, calendar, and
everything else. Just remember what you won't be able to have both
Outlook's open at the same time.
 
Brian - I have the shared pst. on the laptop but it also has a default pst
that resides on the laptop c drive. I've tried to change the default and/or
remove the c drive pst but the system won't let me. I must not be doing what
you have suggested. Can you talk me through your suggestion? In lieu of that
can you point me to any xiting instructions?

Thanks - HostDad94

Define "won't let me". To select what PST wil be your default delivery
location, click Tools>E-Mail Accountsd>Next and change the "Delivery new
e-mail to the following location" drop-down at the bottom left. You CAN
specify a network-shared PST because I've done it.
 
I would guess he is trying to delete the local .pst file before he has
changed the default delivery location. Change the location first then you
will be able to delete the local one.
