In using Outlook 2002 (XP Pro) OR Outlook 2000 (Win2K
Pro) can another user who's not on the primary user's
workstation, view, change, add or delete activities,
calendar entries and contacts? [This presumes that the
assistant would have access/security rights to the
information.]

Here's the situation: A manager, say John, has an
assistant, say Becky. If John is out of the office can
Becky (his assistant) make changes to John's Outlook on
HER workstation to affect his Outlook on HIS
workstation? When Becky makes this change to John's
activities, calendar or contacts, when is the change
viewable on John's workstation? Assume that Becky is a
locally attached user and that John may or may not be a
remote user (laptop or home user).

Do they have to have Exchange or is the situation
independent of Exchange Server?
TIA,
Tom
 
In order to use the Delegate function (this is what you are describing is
called), you must be using Exchange server.
