Can someone provide advice?



Computer #1 -- WinXP Home, Outlook SBE 2003

Computer #2 -- WinXP Home, Outlook SBE 2002 (note the year)



My contacts and email accounts are on Computer #1.



I wish for Computer #2 to have access to contacts for email sending, while

storage remains ONLY on Computer #1, but view/response capabilities for

Computer #2.



I can find no way to share files and my research has only totally confused

me. I have been an Outlook Express user and have just setup Outlook for its

better features.



Computer #2 is an occasional user, so this won't justify much in time or

money expense. I think!

Thanks for your help,

OL2003 pst format cannot be read by earlier versions of OL and since

Contacts are contained within the pst attempting to share the two sets of

Contacts might be somewhat convoluted.

You could I guess create an earlier format pst in OL2003 copy from new

format to old format pst then sync/share.

Since 'Computer #2 is an occasional user' is it worth the hassle?
