I currently am running Outlook 2003 and am looking for the proper solution to
my problem. I use 4 different devices to connect to Outlook and if I add a
contact to one device it does not get updated on the next device. Is there a
way to have a shared folder which I can access even though I am using a POP3
account and not a Microsoft Exchange Account. I read all the things about
possibly purchasing a 3rd party to set-up an Exchange Server for my company,
but I was wondering if anyone knew the best strategy here? The four devices
are my SmartPhone, 2 separate laptops, and a desktop. If anyone can even lead
me in a better direction I'd be very grateful. Also I am a novice programmer
in Access so if there is any lead to information if I must write a macro that
will run to automatically save the contacts file. Thanks again.

You should be able to use the Smartphone as the intermediary, synching it
with each of the three PCs. I use a PDA to keep home and work synched.
Alas, I can't check more than two PCs right now, though.
