I run a network of 12 PCs varying with 95 and 98 connected to an NT4 Server with exchange 5.5 SP3 all PCs have the Outlook 2000 mail client and share a folder using net folder from one users PC this all works fine except for one fact the updates to the net folders have to be manually processed by the recipient hence making the point of net folders not functional. I have tried everything i can think of along with all the suggestions off the Knowledge Base, i have recreated the net folders removed and re-installed both the whole of Office 2000 and Outlook 2000 and removed it using the Eraser2k.exe package and seem to be at a loss

Is there a reason this isn't being done through a Public Folder since you have an Exchange server?

Do you think updating to the latest service pack will help,this question was popsted before and no solution has been found yet,try going back to previous posting.

Are the users who share the NetFolder marking all incoming changes as read? I've noticed poor performance on machines where the user may show 1,000 or more new updates to a shared folder which are resolved once I mark them as read.

Yes all the updates are regularly marked as read, i have set the folder to autoarchive the old months of the calender(this is the netfolder) so there are only about 600 items in it anyway so at max the updates only might be about 50-60
