Re sharing the data in Outlook: see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm. Your address book is probably
just your contacts folder in your PST file, unless for some reason you're
using a personal address book or sharing your OE address book (which is a
..wab file).

Note - you can't do what you wish with Outlook Express, which is what your
newsgroups are using. OE does not allow you to use a network drive as a
store location. I have no idea why....
 
I have a home LAN connecting a 486 machine running WIN95, a Pentium II
running WIN98SE, and a Pentium 4 running WINdows XP Home Edition. All feed
from an Ethernet switch that is feed from a router that connects to a cable
modem.

The WIN98SE machine contains Office 2000 Professional and has my email and
calendar files. I still don't know where my address book is. (I get double
results when searching for a name but only have one book; a problem I've
been trying to resolve for half a years). Outlook Express is used for
newsgroups. I'd like to be able to read my mail, see the calendar, and have
full access to newsgroups from at least the WIN98SE and Windows XP machines.
But I don'e want the files spread among three different machines.

Can someone please give me a thumbnail description of how I can do this (if
it's even possible) and where I can read the detailed instructions to begin?
