Hi! :o)

There are 3 of us in our office on XP using Outlook and we want to share our
calendars.

Is there an EASY way to do this. We all share a printer and Internet
connection and we can see each others computers on "network places" but we
DON'T have a server , just our PC's.

We want to be able to share one calendar.

Thank you! :o)

I can't believe that with ALL the hype about XP and MS Office that there is
no way for people in a SMALL office (4) people to work together with their
calendars.

Every solution I've seen from Microsoft says we have to buy a server and
manage it AND on top of that buy server software to schedule a simple
calendar. So much for working together with XP and Office XP.

Where is ALL the truth in XP allowing people to work together?

I feel like the calendar in Outlook is worthless to a small company. Sorry
to rant but I'm sure some of you know how I feel.

Thanks to all those who tried to help! :o) Perhaps Microsoft will make
PC's work together one day for us "little" not rich "simple" folks.
 
You cannot share a PST file, and have never been able to do so. It's a
limitation of that type of file. For what you want, a server is required.
There are third party products listed on the link Milly and I gave you -
some of them are not expensive, some may be free.

Yes, it would be nice if there were an "Exchange Lite" out there, but alas,
it doesn't exist.
