Is there any way to have a contact list point to a file (pst or dbase or access) on a shared server so everyone can have the same list? We are not using Exchange and everyone is maintaining their own contacts and schedule. I know I can import from such a file, but to keep the list current I would have to import often and edit the list manually (for deletions) from each computer.
Also, while I'm on the subject, Is there any way to share schedules without setting up an Exchange Server?
Thanks

No, not that I know of or have heard of. We asked that same question to MS at the Exchange 2000 Conference in Dallas several months ago. Short of using "Public Folders" and their limitations/restrictions...

The good news is that we were told the Office XP (Outlook 10) will have some added features if using Exchange 2000 on the Backend where "Team Discussions" [Contacts?!]
could be shared by members.
