MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / July 2005Synchronize Outlook Contacts in Small Local Area Network
I would like to synchronize Outlook contacts in our small LAN. Basically, I need to be able to create contacts in either of two PC's, and to be able to synchronize the contacts as required. Can this be done? If so, how? This type of synchronization is not built into Outlook. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm for possible solutions.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I find it truly surprising that Microsoft does not offer a simple solution to a problem shared by all who use MS Office in a LAN. I have decided on a "home-based" solution to the problem, as follows. Keep an Excel spreadsheet with all e-mail address in our mailing list (to be shared by all LAN members). Since this spreadsheet is shared by all LAN members, all can contribute to it. To keep contacts synchronized, each LAN member sends an e-mail to all other LAN members with the new data, which each member can then add manually to his/her Outlook Contacts. Primitive, but a simple, cost-free solution. Thanks again for the help. Angel Pacheco > This type of synchronization is not built into Outlook.
