I'm using Outlook 2000 and am now networking peer-to-peer with an older
computer. I'd like to install Outlook 2000 on the older machine, and use it
simply as a passive device.

I imagine I could sync, but I'd prefer the path of least resistance. Would
that path be simply copying, now and then, the Outlook contents of the new
machine to the old machine?

If so, what files would those be, with regard to contacts and calendar?

Thanks,
Jake

Thanks for your help, though the suggested procedures are ridiculously
complicated. Not worth the bother, given that so much can go wrong,
especially with Network Folders.

Best,
Jake

Agreed. Synchronization and sharing of PST files in one of Outlook's biggest
weaknesses.
