In Outlook (Office XP Professional) how do you keep
messages, contacts, appointments, etc. coordinated on both
my laptop and my desktop.
 
Joe,
Unfortunately there really isn't a good solution IMHO. For the PocketPC,
Microsoft has ActiveSync which I think works very well syncing between a PC
and the PocketPC. Too bad they won't develop a tool to do this between two
PCs. I'm really hoping that OL2003 has this feature.

Check this web site:

As you'll see from the link above there are third party tools as well as
Yahoo and MSN which looked promising since you can get to your data online
too but they don't do email. MSN is a pay service, Yahoo is free. MSN
doesn't have all the OL fields available which makes it useless to me (no
notes and only six phone fields).

As you'll see from the link above, there are some third party tools too; I
haven't tried any.

Regards-Michael G.
 
FYI - Outlook 2003 does not have this feature.

Thanks Milly. By any chance do you know how well those third party programs
work?

I have not had occasion to try them since I use Exchange in my home
environment and not .pst files.
