So I install a copy of MS Office XP I've had sitting on the shelf on my new
laptop, bring in all my data from the old machine (which was using Office
2000) and suddenly I can no longer syncro Calendar and Contacts with my home
computer nor my secretary computer's Outlook 2000. What happened? Who's
great idea was this and in my only option to go back to Office 2000?

NetFolders were found to be exceedingly unstable and unfixable so they were
removed in OL2002 & above

So what you are saying is, we whould use one of the other methods (e.g.
something like slipstick.com) so our Contact and Calendar sharing, yes?

Yes. NetFolders are gone and not coming back. Another sharing method may pop
up in the future but I don't think it'll be NetFolders - The Next
Generation.
