I have 2 computers in my home network. Networked through a Linksys router. I want to have my wife's Outlook look/point at my address book. That way I only have to update one list, not both when I get new or updated addresses. I have w2k and she has w98se. I haven't found the option in Outlook Express on where to point it for the address list. I can update it, but I want a common list.


Any gurus who can help me on this? TIA.

Dont know if this will help, but here is something from M$ http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q180/1/97.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=address%20book&rnk=83&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=OUT

I have it working at home, but we share the PC.
I dont know if you can set Outlook Express up to share a file over the network.
If you can setup both PC's with Outlook, then create a pab, and map a drive between the PC's and point to that.
draw back is one pc would have to be on as the server for the pab file.
Thats why I have a server, not a linksys box.

I can also store data and share it out all the time.
Good luck
